Adolescence confronts young people on their way to adulthood with a new momentous stage, that of their access to the labor market. In all cases, access to the world of employment provides them with new responsibilities as citizens, and at the same time provides them with economic autonomy to develop their life project.While entering the labor market is difficult for everyone, it is especially so in countries with the highest youth unemployment rates, and it is particularly complex and even an impossible mission for youth living in juvenile centers. These, upon reaching the age of majority, are generally forced to leave the reception center, unlike what happens with those who still live with their family. And in this situation, insertion in the labor market is even more complex for young people of migrant origin. These young migrants are cared for under international law by the Child and Adolescent Protection System. But when they reach the age of 18, they suddenly enter a situation of multiple obstacles to their integration, which can lead to their exclusion or expulsion.For this reason, the “The Day After” Project (DAF Project) seeks to develop a training model aimed at young people at risk of social exclusion between the ages of 16 and 18 - migrant people or disadvantaged natives - cared for in residential facilities or shelters for minors under the System for the Protection of Children and Adolescents in the participating European countries. The aim of this training model is to promote the acquisition of key competences to favor the transition from adolescence / youth to adulthood and facilitate access to the labor market.Summing up, the DAF Project aims to achieve real social and labor inclusion of young people who live in the Residential Care Institutions (RCI) with fewer opportunities and at risk of exclusion - of migrant origin or disadvantaged natives - to facilitate their transition to adulthood. Its objectives are:- Provide necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes, both personally and professionally, for accessing the labor market to young people living in RCI;- Establish a training curriculum and an internship itinerary including a specific module aimed at young migrants;- Improve socio-educational intervention with young people living in RCI through training workshops and internships in workplaces for their incorporation into the labor market.Thus, through the development and results of the project, youth employment will be fostered by establishing synergies between the professionals of the shelters for minors (eg directors, educators, integrators), social, educational organizations and the Public Administration involved in the care of minors in such facilities.After its completion the following results will be obtained:- A reference guide for the social and labor integration of young people living in Residential Care Institutions (RCI): it will include a reference framework on the situation of young people between 16 and 18 years old who reside in RCI in the participating countries, as well as the definition of personal and professional skills needed to promote their access to the labor market.- A training curriculum and internship itinerary in work centers -validated through a training pilot test- to promote the transition to adult life of young people served in RCI (with a modality especially aimed at migrant minors).- The development of training and practical workshops in work centers aiming for social and labor integration. A final report will be prepared on the implementation of the theoretical-practical workshops (pilot courses) in the four participating countries to validate the training program and the itinerary of practices.Our consortium is formed by: two NGOs in Spain, the Health and Community Foundation (FSC), as the organization that assumes the coordination, and the Lagunduz Association for Comprehensive Assistance (LAGUNDUZ), two entities that collaborate in different initiatives in the field of care of young people at risk of exclusion and socio-labor integration; an entity in Italy, Mondo Nuovo A.P.S. (MONDO), with extensive experience in managing training programs and protection resources for children, adolescents and their families; and Social Empowerment Hub (SEHUB) of Greece, a social organization with interdisciplinary experience in the field of youth and social sciences.
