EU Report: Youth work’s contribution to aid transition from education into employment
The contribution of youth work to address the challenges young people are facing, in particular the transition from education to employment.
The Report presents results from the work of the expert group set up under the European Union Work Plan for Youth for 2014-2015.
The findings detail the role of youth work and its specific contribution to addressing the challenges young people face, in particular the transition from education to employment. The report seeks to make employers, Public Employment Services and policy-makers aware of the crucial role youth work can play – either as a lead agency or in partnership with others – in supporting the employment and employability of young people. In this context, youth work is defined as ‘actions directed towards young people regarding activities where they take part voluntarily, designed for supporting their personal and social development through non-formal and informal learning’.
