Background of the project: Along the strong migration towards Europe in 2015 there has been a big amount of juvenile refugees also. To those, but also youth with emigrational background, apprenticeship is due to specific barriers often impossible. Besides linguistic barriers there are mostly the educational preliminaries not always comparable to those you get in the European target-countries. That is caused to the fact, that academic teaching and learning content, duration, methods and so on in the home countries differ strongly from those in Europe. Also cultural differences, that influence social behavior and possibly have a negative effect on successful apprenticeship from research until graduation, are a barrier also. Unawareness of professional possibilities and operational requirements on the one hand and on the other hand skepticism of training companies whether the young trainees are up to the apprenticeship and its requirements, result negative answers to candidates despite skills shortage or short cut of apprenticeship. Also especially Juveniles often get the possibility to enter the apprenticeship but don´t get the opportunity to take part of vocational preparation measures or apprenticeship supporting measures. Aim of the project - Prequalification and preparation of apprenticeship for juvenile refugees and youth with emigrational background, to ease the entrance into the apprenticeship and avoid the short cut of apprenticeship - Support of the choice of an apprenticeship and professional orientation focused on the specific barriers of the target group - Qualification of the advising and supporting experts - Reduction of the barriers - Opening of apprenticeship to the target group - Fostering the cross-border possibilities of working - Making new potential accessible to enterprises with skills shortage - Developing a concept of measures of vocational preparation and supplementing products Choice of partners The choice of partners followed the challenge. We especially wanted to regard countries whose vocational education system is similar to the German one but also such whose system differs to get results that fit to any system and can adopt national specifics. The partner should work with the target group intensively and focus on preparation of and integration into apprenticeship. The partner also should be active in vocational education and have good approach to enterprises and economics. There should be experience in European projects and development of educational products.
