Youngsters on the move
This project organises an exchange of experiences and work experiments between young people who will work in the tourism business to help increase cross-border worker mobility and develop a communication, collaboration and cross-border governance system indirectly. This project organises and carries out work experiments for young people leaving behind traditional training focused on local food products provided by tourism/commercial businesses. It promotes the development of green tourism and local attractions and helps participants with employment prospects by offering real opportunities for professional growth. These activities add value to cross-border collaboration and promote young people’s professional growth, knowledge and skills beyond Regional and National schemes and settings. The innovative element is in the methodological approach; the Partnership involves effective collaboration between the educational-scholastic system, companies and employment services overturning the usual trend of education preceding business. In this case, companies take the initiative and define shared professional goals for the development of a well-defined economic sector. To this end, they set up a human resources development plan and employ the Chamber of Commerce system to provide a set group of young people with cross-border growth opportunities.
