Back on Track aims to (re)integrate young NEETs (not in employment, education, or training) in rural areas into general and vocational education as well as the labour market. The goal is to improve their basic skills and resilience, while strengthening their digital competences, to enable sustainable employment and personal development. 

While the numbers of young people Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEETs) are still staggering, it is not always easy to find an effective solution to reverse this trend.The NEETs for NEETs project seeks to respond to this issue together with youth affected by such problems, rather than once again providing the answers from a top-down perspective. In this regard, the project aims to improve and co-create together with NEETs sustainable and inclusive methods to empower young NEETs and improve their conditions.

Getting NEETs back on track by the "VET-ification" of gaming to encourage them to take part in Vocational Education and Training (VET) or at least get in touch with VET.

In Italy, one of the main difficulties of the Youth Guarantee Programme in the course of the first phase was to reach and engage the most discouraged NEETs from social backgrounds characterised by high levels of poverty that affected their ability to enter and remain within training and education courses, to gain work experience and to find out about the possibilities offered by the Programme.

400+Future is a low threshold programme that targets young NEETs to support them to re-engage in education and training activities. The programme offers individualised support and practical experience in a variety of vocational fields as well as the opportunity to attain a lower secondary education certificate.
