SUMMARY
The aim of this training course is to provide practical tools to participants to improve their employability for international youth work and within the framework of Youth in Action Programme.

The TC aims at:
- supporting the participants’ professional and personal development
- providing them with useful tools and methods for job coaching

Methodology:
The methodology is based on cognitive behavioural coaching techniques. They consist of a variety of non-formal learning exercises and techniques, such as group work, role-playing, simulations, creation activities, peer-interviews, feedback activities, debriefing, etc., that are used to introduce, experiment and analyse the different contents.

Participants will be encouraged to recognise their strong points, sources of motivations and professional goals. They are expected to assess their own skills and become aware of their objectives. The ultimate goal is to capitalise on the different competences they have identified and developed in order to design a professional career path in accordance with their present assets and potential skill and goals.

The other expected outcome is that participants will be able to apply the tools and methods they have experimented for job coaching back in their organisations.

Objectives:
To Provide a space and activities for youth workers:
- to reflect onto their personal and professional paths.
- to inquire into their personal interests and needs for development.
- to identify existing and potential competences for professional development.
- to envision possible scenarios to develop their youth work careers.
- to create opportunities for partnership and entrepreneurships.
- to exchange best practices and experiences to improve the quality of youth work and employability.
- to implement new initiatives for entrepreneurship and employability in youth work.
- to increase the transferability of acquired competences in the field of youth work.
