Job chances for all: Volunteering with unemployed youth
Verein zur Förderung der Jugend-, Integrations- und Gemeinwesenarbeit
BETA - Volkshilfe Tirol
Wörgl, Austria
Description
BETA helps young people aged 15 to 25 to gain employment. Many of the young people who come to BETA have learning difficulties and struggle to find work. BETA employs around 11 young people for a one-year period, during which they can learn and acquire job qualifications to prepare them for future employment. The program teaches soft and hard skills through five focus areas: Green Care, IT & Communication, Office & Administration, Wood & Creative Workshop, and Knowledge Workshop. Additionally, the program provides job application training for the participants.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
You will stay in a private, fully furnished studio apartment in the host organisation's building in the city centre. You are responsible for grocery shopping and cooking for yourself. You will receive a monthly food allowance (€250) in addition to your pocket money (€180). The travel to Austria and back to your country after the project is covered by the European Solidarity Corps funding.
Training during the activity
* German language course * On-arrival training and Mid-term meeting in Austria * Personal mentoring
Participant profile
The volunteer should assist young people with school-related issues, such as providing individual care and support to those with learning difficulties across various school subjects, as well as helping to develop learning strategies and methods to improve academic success. You should also encourage and motivate young people to achieve their academic /school goals and be able to teach young people basic skills. You should introduce young people to the safe and effective use of computers and digital technologies. Basic German skills are important, as the young people do not speak much English.
