The PfG project will have a very significant impact on Graduates as it will assist them to get a job. It will do this by greatly improving their employability through developing their soft skills (communications, team work etc); improving their job search skills; building a deep understanding of what employers are looking for in potential new employees; & developing their interview and presentation skills.The following objectives have been set: • Better equip trainees for smooth integration into employment through improved workplace communication and teamwork skills • Assist trainees to build an electronic/online career portfolio and use online career marketing tools to search and apply for jobs either locally or internationally & increase their ability to compete for jobs. • Orientate trainees in VET structures and ways to access training as a means to personal development and improved employment opportunities • Gain an indepth understanding of the barriers facing young graduates in partner countries and the practical ways in which they can be overcome • Transfer (including adaptation) existing training materials to create a new training resource combining classroom teaching and online content.• Ensure the high quality of the new training resource by carrying out a thorough testing process with the target group.• Promote the widespread use of the training course focussing on Universities, VET Institutions and social actors with access to graduates, and other training bodies with potential to mainstream the course.The PfG consortium of 5 partners from 4 countries has developed over time as a strong multidisciplinary partnership. Collaboration between 4 of the partners was consolidated in the previous LLP project, and 2 others have worked previously on an ERASMUS project.
