About eNEET Rural Project

WHY? In many rural areas of Europe there are few job opportunities. Youth unemployment is high, and many young people, who have dropped out of school, are low-skilled and face difficulties in getting a job.
This is especially true for the disabled and those belonging to ethnic minorities, who face discrimination from education and employers.

WHAT? The project will focus on innovation and technology in the agricultural sector in order to create a Toolkit for young people, who are no longerin the education system, not working or being trained for work (NEETs). The Toolkit will include online and on-the-spot trainings, youth competition, staff exchange and mentoring services.

WHERE? The geographical coverage of the project:
• Territorially, it covers eNEET Rural partnering countries: Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Slovenia and Spain;
• Bilaterally it includes partnering countries such as Bulgaria-Greece, Romania-Latvia, Spain-Portugal, Hungary-Slovakia, Slovenia-Croatia and Italy-Malta.

• Low-skilled NEETs
• Between 25 and 29 years old
• Living in rural areas and facing
  multiple barriers in entering the
  labour market

We put special focus on 2 sub-groups:

1) Those with a secondary school diploma who
will benefit from the entrepreneurship training,
which facilitates them to set up companies;

2) Those without a diploma will receive the soft skills training, which prepares them to get skilled and attend interviews.
