Projects

Teachsport is actively involved in the improvement of education, learning opportunities and the recognition of qualifications in Europe. It has received EU funding for several projects in the last few years to develop new approaches. Most of these projects have used Teachsport's educational experience to develop online courses, qualifications and real life opportunities for people with a variety of challenges in their lives. 

ET-NEET's - Effective Training for NEET's (Not in Education, Employment or Training)

Project Duration:    2 years, 2014-2016. 

Role in Project:    Writer and Partner 

Project Website:    www.et-neets.eu 

Project Code:    2014-1-UK01-KA204-000029 

What is the problem the project is trying to solve? 

Youth unemployment is one of the major challenges of EU employment policy as 12.9% of those aged 15–24 in the EU are currently not in employment, this equates to approximately 5.5 million young people being affected. These young adults are generally disproportionately affected by a lack of opportunities which has been accelerated through the recent economic crisis. They are often from disadvantaged backgrounds and are Not in Employment, Education or Training, in short called NEETs. 

The Solution 

The project will work together with it Target Groups who currently offer training to NEETs and gather, analyse and produce data to support the development of a common framework for identifying indicators to measure successful training. The result will be effective and high quality training that will available for teachers and trainers to use when delivering training to NEETs. 

The Web-Platform 

Training programmes for NEETs incorporate a variety of elements to teach key competences and basic skills and are currently being designed and delivered by local governments, charities and NGOs. The project will produce a Web Platform which, for the first time, will bring together training organisations from all levels (locally, nationally and EU-wide) which enables them: 

• To communicate  
• To organise exchange   
• To find methods of best practice.   

It will also allow them to publish and evaluate their own methods and will assist them to compare programs offered by other organisations using the web platforms Matrix software tool. 

Training Materials for NEET Teachers 

From its research into existing training programmes and their effectiveness the project team will run two Pilot training courses and finally design and produce a course for teachers and trainers of NEETs to use. These Training Materials for NEET Teachers (TMNT) will include elements, methods and techniques that have been tested and proved to be successful. The TMNT courses will promote mobility as a significant factor in delivering more effective results in this sector of adult education and especially for NEETs from disadvantaged backgrounds. 

The final project conference was held in London where stakeholders were invited to attend and be presented with the work and results of the project.
