The project is finished.

Aims / Objectives

The general objective is to intensify the transition of the European NEET young to education and to working life. The aim is to support, with the help of the generation intelligent mentoring model, the NEET young who cannot utilize the services fully nowadays. The mentoring model functions as a tool to find motivating work place and suitable education. Dialogic mentoring relationship benefits both the actors and mentors. Collaboration between the national and international partners is a key to develop new models.
