comments:

Young unemployed women and men.

challenges:

The employability of young people is low because of lack of skills and motivation The wages in the formal sector are often lower than in the informal sector, the soft skills therefore need to help the young people to understand the benefits of formal employment

success:

There is a demand for skilled workers in many industrial sectors and the soft skills can help to motivate the young people Many young people are well educated just lacking the specific vocational skills

context:

The project was target on employability of youth. When the newly employed have become a part of the production it is difficult for the employers to take them out of the production again for training purposes.

description:

Soft skills for increasing employability A lesson earned from the current project is that the soft skills training is positive and helps to motivate the young people to stay in the jobs to which they are guided, but also that the training schedule shall be carefully planned with employers and service providers to secure that the newly employed are given the agreed availability to join the training.

administrative_issues:

Should be taken up by a possible future project on employment or inclusive labour market development
