UNEET proposes an innovative approach to foster the professional integration of NEETs (young adults Not in Education, Employment, and Training), by matching the recruitment needs of the hotel, restaurant and catering (HORECA) sector with the existing labour supply of young adults in 7 NWE regions. The alarming youth unemployment rates in NWE regions (on average 18,8% in the project regions) and the need for better and integral solutions to tackle this issue, have pushed partner organisations to join their forces to conceive an ambitious employment driven project with a strong transnational dimension. An in-depth analysis has allowed the Consortium to identify the HORECA sector as the most suitable for the purposes of this project. Constant employee turnover, work force recruitment deficit (250.000 unfilled jobs per year in Europe), availability of broad entry-level positions and a favourable disposition to hire young people, confirm that this labour-intensive sector, which represents around 27 million of jobs, could benefit from the project and contribute to the sustainable professional integration of young adults. By joining the different but complementary expertise of each partner organisation, UNEET will foster NEETs’ access to the labour market through the creation of a digital employability programme with several tailored support modules to: identify the beneficiaries’ needs and skills required by the sector, reinforce NEETs’ competences and skills, strengthen the recruitment capacity and attractiveness of the HORECA sector, promote transnational professional mobility and boost the economic performance of the participants' regions. This unprecedented social innovation project aims to reinforce the employability of 1200 NEETs in 4 countries (France, UK, Ireland, Germany). (English)
