Today, the European labour market increasingly demands a series of soft<\/strong> skills<\/strong>, which are a key to employability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These skills can be acquired through non-work activities, in leisure time or through participation in education. When talking about soft skills, we may refer for example, to the ability to work within a team, to work under pressure, or to communicate effectively. Yet, many training and educational programmes still address these competences inadequately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to overcome this challenge, the IDEA<\/strong><\/a> partnership developed an Interactive toolset supporting Development of Educators of Adults' skills in Boosting Entrepreneurship among NEETs<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The digital resource allows educators and students to access teaching and training materials and other useful resources to become successful entrepreneurs, by expanding young people's entrepreneurial skills <\/strong>and thus increasing their employability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Toolkit offers a self-assessment tool<\/strong> to test one's own knowledge and eight modules on informal skills related to entrepreneurship, enhanced by real-life scenarios<\/strong> and good practices.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the months of December, January, and February, CESIE presented the resource to three groups of educators and students, in order to collect their opinion<\/strong>. The online meetings were attended by a class from the CPIA of Turin and by teachers and students from Euroform, an organization that offers vocational training courses for both young people and adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meetings included a theoretical part on the Toolset contents and practical activities<\/strong> aimed at solving real-life scenarios, based on the skills presented in the resource. In addition, it was possible to discuss the experience of teachers and educators in teaching soft skills<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers and students are currently evaluating the resource, that will be available on the project website, once refined. Lastly, CESIE is organizing the final event<\/strong> of the project to be held in March: date and location are still to be defined. Stay updated!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
