PROFIT: cooperation between organizations working with youth and business sector, Training Course
23-28 October 2017 | Lviv, Ukraine
The training course aims to support competence development of NGO’s managers for creating more efficient cooperation ties with business sector in order:
1) To improve the level of employability of young people participating in youth organizations through strengthening transition of experience from non-formal education to labour market;
2) To stimulate recognition of NFE by business sector in participating countries through improvement of transparency of youth organizations' work and it’s quality;
3) To improve the functional capacity of NGOs working with youth through development of strategies stimulating financial support for youth projects from the side of business organisations;
4) To initiate ideas for strategic cross-sectoral partnerships (including opportunities for Erasmus+ funding within KA1 and KA2)
5) To synergise efforts of different sectors of society in order to enhance involvement of young people into community development on different levels
Youth work organisations are creating great social value and developing competences of young people required for their successful life. However youth work and non-formal learning are often vaguely understood by business sectors. And, from the other hand, NGOs do not cooperate with business in order to realise their programs for young people. When analysing recent reports on skills gap and most demanded competences, we realise that youth work can cooperate more with sectors and create links especially with private sector in order to unlock new employment and development opportunities for young people. We believe that greater cooperation would also unleash potential resources allocated by private sector to NGOs, which in turn could increase sustainability of youth work organisations and provide business with new possibilities for development.
