Supporting Employment Platform through Apprenticeship Learning - SEPAL

About this project

<p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt">The project aims at developing an innovative model to evaluate and develop the competencies of minimum <strong>300 NEETs aged between 24 and 29 years old</strong> from different vulnerable groups (low-skilled, at risk of poverty, migrants, people with mental and physical disabilities, and Roma people), and supporting them through the Work Integration Social Enterprise (WISE) and Local Stakeholder Committees (LSC) models in accessing apprenticeship and learning on the job stages, based on a transnational partnership. The beneficiaries our project benefit from <strong>a 6-month program of learning through experience</strong> through apprenticeship stages in social enterprises and internship stages in private entities, receiving a certificate that highlights competencies which they developed or obtained by learning on the job. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt">Among the project’s outputs, the following can be mentioned: <strong>training of 15 WISE experts</strong>, <strong>training of 25 LSCs</strong> to support the employability of the NEETs, <strong>an online platform</strong> to facilitate the socio-professional inclusion of the young people, but also several resources that are already available online: <strong>Innovation Book</strong>, <strong>Apprenticeship Book</strong>, <strong>Work-based Training Book</strong>. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt">SEPAL Coalition is another output of the project, aiming at improving partners’ capacity to assist NEETs’ integration on the labor market through preparing <strong>a common action plan of intervention at EU level</strong>. A final international conference will be organised, where the project results will be communicated.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt">We also managed to organise a series of online events <strong>“Let’s NEET Together”</strong>, inviting all the projects funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA and Norway Grants’ Fund for Youth Employment, which turned into a European movement, during which the other projects had the opportunity to exchange best practices, sharing their innovative solutions, tools, models or methods they use, and, last but not least, their success stories.</span></span></p>
