Future prospects – not youth unemployment
5.7 million young Europeans are unemployed – without prospects
5.7 million unemployed young people from European countries do not want to belong to an "internship generation without lobby and future" and we should not allow it. Tomorrow Europe will need their ideas and creativity, their curiosity and openness: families, society and business. THE CONCEPT
The europatriates are based on a new concept with which this problem can be directly addressed. The main effect: youth unemployment in the European countries concerned can be reduced by temporarily resettling the young unemployed to another European host country for apprenticeship, training and employment. At the same time perspectives for employment are being developed and supported in their home country. The concept has been created by a network of institutions and interdisciplinary professionals on the request of the SHS Foundation. It has rigorously tested and further improved solutions of the German labor market reforms. THE SOLUTION
As europatriates, young unemployed from EU Member States will receive professional opportunities in a host country. A dual apprenticeship, including coaching or training programs within partner companies and educational institutions, or the placement in employment is awaiting them. Preceding this, an integration process to the host country is planned including language courses and intercultural training of country and people. LAUNCH DATE: 23rd–25th of JUNE 2014
The europatriates will kick-start on the 1st European Congress "Solutions for Youth Unemployment in Europe" end of June 2014. Here the best models to help tackle youth unemployment in Europe will be brought together. The Congress and its accompanying fare will show: Concrete Solutions against Youth Unemployment in Europe. You can benefit from this European concepts and live test the new tools, such as the “integrated talent diagnostics” or the “employment radar”. Come to Saarbruecken from the 23rd to the 25th of June 2014 - save the date today. The 2½-day program with the extraordinary "Night of Europe" has been adapted with the best travel connections in mind. The Congress will be simultaneously translated into multiple European languages.
