Youth employment for sustainable development of Gorski kotar – YES for Gorski kotar
ODRAZ was one of the partners in the implementation of YES project, which includes motivating young people to educate and raise the level of knowledge and skills required by the labour market. Role of ODRAZ in the implementation of the project was to provide training and technical assistance to prepare projects for EU funding.
Following activities were implemented within the project:
- In October and November 2011 two training blocks of the project writing and logical framework were held. Participants were 14 young unemployed people from the area of Gorski kotar; the goal of education was to equip the participants with the basic skills and techniques of writing projects and project cycle management (PCM). Within education the three basic elements of the project proposals which are thematically in line with the sustainable development plan of Gorski Kotar 2010-2013 were prepared. Attendants continued to work independently on project proposals and in January 2012th, there was another meeting scheduled with lecturers from ODRAZ to round off the process of preparation of the project proposal.
- Handbook “Project cycle management and Logical framework approach” was prepared by Lidija Pavić-Rogošić and the publisher of Handbook was PINS – Business incubator Skrad. The Handbook can be downloaded here.
- Final conference of YES project was held in Fužine (April, 2012). The results of the project were presented by the project manager Daniel Bertović and the representatives of project partners presented their work and role in the project. The project beneficiaries – young unemployed people – presented their role and the benefits that they gained from the project.
