NEET-BEST is a project designed to strengthen the employability of young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET).
The project aims to increase the quality, innovation and recognition of youth work through inclusiveness and diversity in all areas of education, training, youth and sports.
The motivation for our project stems from the pressing need to address the challenges faced by NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) youth in today's rapidly evolving labor market. NEET youth often encounter significant barriers to accessing education, training, and employment opportunities, which can perpetuate cycles of unemployment, social exclusion, and economic disadvantage.

The works aimed with the project:
The project aims to equip NEET youth with the necessary skills and knowledge through blended learning methods to integrate them into the workforce.
Professionals supporting young people will receive training to stay updated on the changing job market demands in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
The project encourages the inclusion of NEET youth in society and provides them with ongoing guidance and learning opportunities.
The project aims to equip NEET youth with relevant skills for the 21st century, addressing the evolving demands of the job market and other global changes. By offering career guidance and training focused on crucial skills, the project promotes increased employability for NEET youth.
The project offers a flexible blended learning program, making education more accessible to NEET youth and creating opportunities for them to participate in lifelong learning based on their individual needs and capabilities.
Professionals working with NEET youth will gain new skills through the "NEET-BEST Guide for the Professionals", enabling them to offer higher quality career guidance and education services. This will support their professional development and ultimately lead to more effective social inclusion, improved employability, and job placement for NEET youth. The project also promotes lifelong learning for professionals by involving them in training events and educational material development, equipping them with valuable digital skills for their daily work.
The project is aimed at direct and indirect target groups:
Young job seekers aged 15-29: This group, categorised as NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training), will directly participate in the project activities
Professionals working with young people: This group includes youth workers, counsellors, educators, lecturers, mentors, and social workers.
