PROJECT
FINISHED
The average rate of early drop-outs, i.e. students leaving school before finishing the secondary level and have no vocational training, is currently over 15% in the European Union. In some member states, the figure is even higher. This situation causes huge problems for the present and future labour markets. With increasing requirements for highly trained personnel and subsequently less need for unqualified or lowly qualified workers, people without graduation certificates or vocational qualification have the least opportunities in the labour market, which makes them a group with high risk of unemployment. In structurally weaker regions, it is especially tempting for young people to look for opportunities elsewhere, like the Capital region or abroad.
The TELE project is reacting to the concrete need of involving groups with low or no qualifications in educational activities and measures. There is an increasing demand in the current economy for people who possess skills as motivation, initiative, responsibility and entrepreneurial thinking. Most upper secondary schools, LLLC’s and vocational training institutes do not have the entrepreneurship-teaching on their agenda. There is a limited offer of strategic learning and curricula on the subjects of creativity, initiative and entrepreneurial attitudes. The partner organizations of the project are planning to develop and test Entrepreneurship Workshops that can be used by the teachers in different educational centers and employment services measures, in order to motivate the jobless, mainly young, people to do something, to be active and to turn ideas into action. Entrepreneurship workshops are a strong tool for motivation and focus on local opportunities.
The main objectives of the TELE project are:
- to reduce school dropouts
- to reduce emigration from the regions
- to reduce Unemployment rate.
The goal of the partnership is to give young people the opportunity to experience success through creative work and through their own initiatives. They learn that every person is capable of achieving something and has interest in something and also that nobody can do everything. Thus they overcome gradually the negative feelings about being useless and worthless, and at the same time they discover their skills and interests, of which they had been unaware before. With the help of the Entrepreneurship workshops and training methods, which can be integrated into the curriculum of upper secondary schools, further education seminars, vocational schools, adult education centers, measures for the unemployed, we can reach, motivate and activate young, low skilled, disadvantaged unemployed people to start further education and/or find a job or/and create their own job possibilities, following up on their own interests and ideas.
