Reaching out to youth when it comes to employment opportunities is crucial. The European Commission acknowledges that more efforts are needed\u00a0in order\u00a0to engage with those\u00a0who do not much access to the\u00a0labour market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Young people can only benefit from the\u00a0Youth Guarantee<\/a>\u00a0if they get in touch with relevant providers. Currently,\u00a0less than 40% of young people not in Employment, Education or Training (NEETs) are registered with the scheme in the EU. Various outreach activities form\u00a0an important part of the Youth Guarantee to\u00a0encourage\u00a0those who do not take the initiative to register\u00a0to do so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On March\u00a014,\u00a0the European Commission invited Youth Guarantee coordinators as well as coordinators of outreach projects financed through the\u00a0EU Programme of Employment and Social Innovation<\/a>\u202f(EaSI) to discuss how outreach is working on the ground.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On the basis of stakeholders’ experience, outreach needs to be framed in a systematic approach, starting from\u202fbetter data to understand the target group\u202fas well as gathering main stakeholders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By clicking\u00a0here<\/a>, you can access a guide\u00a0for developing national outreach strategies for inactive young people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For the European Commission-ILO joint action plan on youth unemployment, please click\u00a0here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
