advanCing youth and women sociaL inclUSion in The mEditerRanean
The potential of CLUSTER project relies on, first, the partnership made of entities who have previously run projects dealing with youth and women unemployment in the Mediterranean region. Second, it introduces the social economy as a key player in improving employment policies together with Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions and the private sector. Based on previous results and adapting to the new post-pandemic era which affected mostly youth and women, CLUSTER will build its strategy in three steps. First, it will refine the catalogues of skills needs in four sectors: blue, green, circular economy and sustainable agriculture. It will also identify the successful experiences and efficient practices. Second, it will train NEETs on-site and on-line together with traineeship scheme, coaching and tutoring to acquire skills and work experiences needed to enter the labour market. Finally, it will mainstream successful practices and methods to public authorities and policy makers. The ultimate aim is to create a supportive environment for the implementation of youth/women employment schemes.
