Empowerment of NEET youth

Empowerment Project is an initiative aimed at supporting youth aged 15 to 24 who are not in employment, education, or training (NEET group). We create opportunities for learning, employment, and entrepreneurial skill development, focusing on young people from rural communities in the Khmelnytskyi region.

Mission of the Project

Our goal is to eliminate barriers to education and employment, foster entrepreneurship, and integrate innovative learning methods. We aim to prepare young people to take responsibility for their future, helping them become active workers, entrepreneurs, and global citizens.

Why Is This Important?

NEET youth face unique challenges, including limited access to resources and opportunities. By developing critical skills such as problem-solving, leadership, collaboration, and communication, the project empowers them to become active participants in economic and social life.

Project Objectives:

• Develop professional skills using modern educational tools.
• Promote social integration and economic activity among youth.
• Support innovative solutions to address community challenges.
• Create conditions for youth entrepreneurship through collaboration with local communities.

Key Activities:

• Educational Bootcamps:
  Organizing intensive sessions in small towns and villages of the Khmelnytskyi region to develop key skills and employment readiness.
• Mentorship and Consulting Support:

  Raising awareness about social entrepreneurship and its role in addressing social challenges.
