Description

The project aims to increase job opportunities for NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) in the target areas, with a particular focus on girls and women, refugees, and people with disabilities, to improve the economic and social conditions of the entire population. The proposed strategy involves guiding, assisting, and enhancing the skills of NEETs to create a qualified workforce capable of meeting the demands of the labor Allegato 2_Modello Documento Unico di Progetto_DUP_Bando Promossi 2023 9 market. We will address the urgent need to reduce the percentage of NEETs, whose isolation from the labor market incurs significant economic costs and poses a threat to political stability. The inadequate participation of women in the labor market results in a loss of 34% of per capita GDP, not to mention the consequences on population growth, public spending, and environmental pressure. Apprenticeship programs have proven to be one of the most effective measures for reducing youth unemployment. Our project, through a holistic and ecological approach, will integrate with existing initiatives in each intervention area, improving the skills of young people and increasing the productivity of the private sector. The connection with the private sector, a strategic actor, is ensured by the participation of the Federation of Egyptian Industries (FEI), one of the country's largest employers' associations. The FEI represents over 104,000 industrial enterprises, contributing 18% to the national economy. The Federation of Egyptian Industries will play a crucial role as a facilitator of the private sector in developing apprenticeship programs. The FEI will work closely with businesses to create apprenticeship pathways that meet labor market needs, thus ensuring appropriate training and professional placement opportunities for young people. Coordination with other stakeholders involved in promoting youth employment will be fundamental. The project activities will include awareness campaigns and information days to increase the awareness of young people and businesses about the importance and value of apprenticeships. Additionally, a personalized career guidance service, with three dedicated coaches supporting 600 NEETs, will help young people choose and pursue suitable careers, improving their employment prospects. The curricula will be co-designed with the private sector to ensure that the skills taught are relevant and up-todate. Technical training programs on specific skills (hard skills) will be offered, along with training on transversal skills (soft skills). The project will place particular emphasis on the inclusion of underrepresented groups, such as women and refugees, in the workplace. Initiatives will be undertaken to increase their presence, including raising awareness about inclusive work environments and training company tutors on inclusive apprenticeships. Apprenticeship agreements between apprentices and host companies will also be developed, ensuring a structured and monitored integration. The project will promote awareness campaigns on unpaid women's work and organize networking events to foster cohesion between host communities and refugee communities. Furthermore, a Gender Plan for the private sector will be developed, aimed at promoting gender equity in the workplace. A monitoring service for the apprenticeship program will ensure the quality and effectiveness of the activities, ensuring that the project's objectives are achieved. The project aims to create a significant change in the employment prospects of NEETs, contributing to local economic growth and social cohesion. Collaboration with the FEI and the implementation of inclusive strategies will ensure that the program is sustainable and has a significant impact on all beneficiaries. read more close
