About the project
The project Generation Next: Empower Your Career Success! tackles the issue of youth unemployment in Europe and defines several crucial steps that can help young people improve their position in the labour market. Therefore the project helps the young people:
- define their potential role in the current labour market,
- identify their own goals and what they need to achieve them,
- become aware of their own values,
- develop skillset that is crucial to pursue their individual goals.
Some of the crucial skills were identified by the project writers based both on previous research and experience as the ability to create valuable social connections, confidence and a sense of self-worth in order to take risks and developing initiative and taking control over their situation and acting as leaders.
