The 2021-2027 program gives high priority to people with the fewest opportunities. Young adults with the fewest opportunities and job seekers are particularly targeted through training mobility opportunities. In 2019, NEETs (Neither in Employment, nor in Education or Training) accounted for more than 12.5% of 15–29-year-old in the EU, and the percentage of NEETs among 24–29-year-old is even higher (source INSEE).
The Erasmus+ program is a vector of integration for this target group. Mobility through internships in companies improves the employability of these adults and their entry or return to the labour market. However, the involvement of local companies, the link between the results of mobility and the labour market or entrepreneurship are still weak. With this project TRIED and TRUE we would like to create an opportunity for cooperation between several European organizations to exchange good practices in terms of post-Erasmus monitoring and support (and/or other international mobility) of job seekers (NEET adults and long-term unemployed).
