Mobility of young people: youth exchange “Employment OpportuNEETy” will take place in Novi Sad, Serbia from 08.02.2017 until 18.02.2017. Project will bring together 35 young people, from Denmark, Serbia, Macedonia, Italy, Croatia, Azerbaijan and Ukraine. Which after finishing school are not able to find a good employment. Thus, they fall in NEET (neither in employment nor in education and training) group, which has highest risk of being excluded from labour market. Based on Erasmus+ objectives, priority for the EU’s ET 2020 framework and the community needs, the objectives of the project:1. Raise awareness and knowledge of young people on: what options they have on labour market, what are their skills and how to transfer those skills into value for good employment, what are the best ways to find and to apply to a job and how to prepare for a job interview. 2. Support young people in developing their skills on how to highlight their skills in different types of CV, how to write a motivational letter, how to adjust their CV to each specific job, how to use verbal, non-verbal and paraverbal communication in an interview and to build their career. 3. Raise young people’s intention to apply to many jobs without losing their confidence in their ability to obtain great employment, feel more relaxed at interviews, have a better self esteem, realize that they are valuable to the working environment and develop positive attitude towards building a career based on their competences and desires. 4. During and after this project, at least 85% of the participants will apply to min 15 jobs, 50% will be called for a job interview and minimum 30% will obtain an employment.All the activities of this project based on variety of non formal methods (games, teambuildings, visual methods, competitions, role plays, group work, peer to peer learning, discussion), structured in the way to meet needs of young people. Starting from analyzing their passions and identifying what they want to do, realizing what strong parts they have, more clear understanding in what company they would like to work, creating their motivation letters, Europass CV, Video CV, practically try different methods to apply for job, improve their self esteem and communicational skills.The most important impact would be impact on 35 participants, which will significantly develop themselves with skills, knowledge and attitudes towards finding an employment they like and that match their type of personality. They will become an example, role models for hundreds or thousands other young people who still don’t know what they want to do in their lives, don’t know how to apply to jobs, how to prepare interview etc. Thus, level of unemployment among NEET will slightly start to fall down.Besides that raised awareness on the difficulties for young people to find a job that they like, after they finish school, as well as promoting Erasmus+ program and volunteering as a way to acquire skills that will help the transition into a paid career, will be one more step in bringing new policies and reforms on European level.
