The project Jóvenes de Almendralejo is the result of our concern for the difficult working situation of our youngsters, either students and recent graduates, which is increased by the lack of businesses in our town. For that reason, the main objective of this project is to encourage the labour insertion of the participants in this project. The project has been developed by a Consortium of partners lead by Almendralejo Town Hall together with 3 Vocational Centers which have acted as Sending Organisations to this project. These are: ES Carolina Coronado, IES Santiago Apóstol e IES Arroyo Harnina. After a Selection Process which was transparent and open to the public, the Project allowed that 35 participants (17 women and 18 men) – aged 18-43- completed a qualifying training period in Eurpean companies form different countries including Italy and Portugal. The profiles of the participants were: Auxiliary Nursery Care, Business Administration, Animation of Physical and Sport activities in natural environment, Proficiency certificate (2nd level) and Oxy-gas welding and and mig-mag welding, Basic laboratory Operations; Mechanics, Telecommunication Installation; Proficiency certificate (3rd level) on Information and Visitors Care (tourism). By implementing this Project, we have coped with the following needs:- Acquiring the knowledge, (theoretical and practical) that actual market demands and that are needed for developing their professional tasks in different countries of the EU: - Obtaining the Europass Mobility certification by the validation and recognition of the competences that participants have acquired during the training period. - Possibility to complete a variety of activities regarding both, content and difficulty, during the training period, enabling the participants to develop the skills and competences inherent to their professional profiles and obtaining the certification for those that have completed the compulsory training modules that correspond to their studies. - Developing language skills by improving Portuguese and Italian, which will increase their competitiveness when developing their professional careers. - Those students with less economic resources have received financial support so that they have been able to complete the programs, and have improved their competences minimizing at the same time the gap of opportunities with other students with more resources- Acquisition of values such as respect, tolerance and intercultural appreciation. - Students have grown up, especially those Youngers who hadn´t lived away from their background before. They have acquired greater autonomy and have learnt to overcome situations (like problems of coexistence) and to sort problems out. - Personal training, they have realized that they are able to face other realities, know other cultures and insert themselves into them. The activities that have been done were: - Preparatory phase: (Oct 15 - August 16).
