Training Course “The Mirror that leads to
Employability” (The MiLE Project)
(funded by Erasmus+)
Youthnet Hellas, in association with Youth Movement of Edessa
and KESYP Edessa, is organizing a Training Course in Edessa (Greece) at 03.07.2018
– 12.07.2018, in the frame of the Erasmus+ program for Youth.
37 youngsters from 10 European countries (Italy, Spain, Hungary, Czech
Republic, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Croatia, Germany, Poland and Greece) will
take part in the ‘MiLE Project’ that is designed to sensitize and especially train
youth workers (presidents, board members, leaders, trainers, mentors, coaches,
project managers and others) from various European organizations on how to
strengthen and promote the employability of their members and volunteers,
making the most of the work accomplished by them in the field of youth.
Thus, the objectives of this
training course are the following:
• To raise awareness on the
participants about the important role that youth organizations can have in enhancing
the employability of young people that are associated with them.
• To familiarize the trainees
with ways and methods to create a "self-reflection culture" within
their organisations, which will help young people at all times to be aware of
the competences, skills and qualifications they have acquired.
• To train the participants on
issuing certificates of employment for the staff and volunteers in their
organizations, whereby the individual qualifications of youth workers will be
clearly shown and with refer to the working positions they look for.
• To train the participants on
how to conduct coaching, mentoring, counselling for employability issues to the
young people associated with their organization and on how to outline (in their
CVs, their cover letters and interviews with employers) the individual soft
skills and specific qualifications held and acquired through youth work and
engagement in youth work activities.
• To familiarize the trainees
on how to utilize the tools "Youthpass", "European Portfolio for
Youth Leaders and Youth Workers", "Europass CV", "Europass
Cover Letter" for self-reflection and promotion of individual
qualifications with an aim to increase the employability of young people.
• To make the trainees
recognize the importance and necessity that contacts and synergies of youth
organizations with companies, employer associations and employment agencies
could have, with an aim to enhance the chances of finding employment for the
young people associated with their organisation.
• To raise awareness on
participants about the importance of enhancing employability, not only for the
obvious economic reason for the creation of income, but also for the social
importance of employability, which can enable social integration and cohesion
amongst young people and especially among those with fewer opportunities.
It is expected that this
training course will have multiple benefits for the participants and they will
acquire very important and useful competencies and knowledge, with which they
will be able to demonstrate the skills acquired by members and volunteers of
the organization from youth work, thereby enhancing their employment prospects
and their job profile.
The training course will also
offer the opportunity for networking and creation of future partnerships
between participating organizations and because of its significantly large and
multi-national number of partners, its outcomes will influence and have an
impact on many organizations and individuals on local, national and European
level.
Participants will engage in
multiple workshops and activities that are going to take place with the use of
non-formal methods.
The working language
will be English.
The whole progress and process of the project can be followed through the
