If you are a person willing to develop their personal and work skills, SELF-E project is just for you!
The main aim of the project is to promote quality youth work in order to foster self-employment of young people with fewer opportunities. The project also aims to help youth workers to organise innovative non-formal learning on youth lifestyle self-employment. We would also like to support youth workers in applying new methods for motivating young people with fewer opportunities to learn and become self-employed.
All of these aims will foster the transition of young people from youth to adulthood through integration in the labour market by lifestyle self-employment. The young people that will benefit from the project will also develop competences connected with sense of initiative and entrepreneurship which are very important for today’s labour market.
If you are a youth worker and want to increase the quality of your trainings, we can help you! We developed Toolkit for youth workers „Social mentoring as innovative training pathway to lifestyle self-employment – SELF-E”. It will show youth workers an innovative reversed training methodology which they can apply while working with young people in order to motivate them to develop their own business. Moreover, the SELF-E training course is based on mentoring methodology.
