The “Go on Job” project was a long-term initiative under Key Action 2 of the Erasmus+ programme, focusing on enhancing youth employability and improving the quality of youth work. The project highlighted both the wide range of opportunities offered by the European Union to young people—such as employment, internships, and volunteering—and the important role of youth organizations in supporting young people’s integration into the labour market.
Based on these two dimensions, the project addressed two interconnected priorities: promoting youth empowerment and improving the quality of youth work. Through a structured set of activities, it provided learning opportunities and supported the development of skills that contribute to employability, professional mobility, and access to the labour market.
Within the project, a comprehensive online training course was designed and implemented, accompanied by a set of tools available on an e-learning platform. The course targeted youth workers, aiming to enhance their knowledge and competences regarding EU opportunities for young people and to strengthen their capacity to support employability at the local level.
The online course included four main modules: an overview of EU employment opportunities with a focus on EURES services, a selection of European best practices in youth work related to employability, and practical tools for professional development, such as CV writing and cover letter preparation.
Project partners collaborated in the design, implementation, evaluation, and testing of the course, with the involvement of labour market experts and relevant stakeholder organizations. Following the pilot phase, trained youth workers delivered workshops in schools, youth organizations, and vocational training centres, applying the newly acquired skills in practice. Through these activities, young participants improved their understanding of the labour market and became more aware of the opportunities provided by the European Union, enhancing their employment prospects.
