SkillSphere: Building a Future for NEET Youth

A European Project for Social Inclusion and Access to Employment

TOGETHER FOR A FRESH START

Across Europe, thousands of young people aged 18 to 29 find themselves excluded from educational and work pathways, risking isolation and marginalization. SkillSphere was created to provide a concrete response to this challenge, promoting the socio-professional inclusion of 180 NEET youth in Romania, Italy, and Bulgaria. Through an integrated approach that combines training, mentoring, and internships, the project provides practical tools to regain confidence, skills, and autonomy. By actively involving businesses, local authorities, and communities, SkillSphere aims to build a sustainable and long-term support ecosystem. A replicable model designed to create a more equitable, supportive society, ready to embrace the potential of every young person.

Opportunities for NEET Youth

To counter the social and labor market exclusion of NEET youth, the project promotes an integrated approach based on territorial collaboration, targeted training, and concrete opportunities for inclusion. Through the involvement of local networks, personalized educational pathways, and hands-on internships, it builds solid foundations for a more stable and aware personal and professional future.

SKILLSPHERE PRINCIPLES

Each partner will mobilise its local network of social enterprises, training centres, and employment agencies to spread awareness about the project and actively engage NEET youth and relevant stakeholders.

Young people identified as NEET will take part in practical training programmes designed to strengthen their digital, financial, language and legal skills. The training also includes personalised mentoring to foster self-confidence and support their integration into the labour market.

After completing their training, selected NEET participants will access internship opportunities in key sectors such as tailoring, cooking, hospitality, and ICT. These internships will offer real work experience, helping participants to strengthen their skills, build professional networks, and improve their employability.
