Many migrant youth, especially young men, have a hard time finding a foothold in education and jobs. Therefore reached KL, LO and DA in 2010 with the government a four-party agreement with the aim to get more immigrant youth motivated to education plate twists and active participation in society. The agreement contained, among other integration project 4u, where young people across the country who for various reasons have found it difficult to enter or complete a secondary education, could have the opportunity to review the practice oriented "driving-course" in local businesses. In UU center UUV Køge Bay has been since the beginning of 2011 participated in the project - and got a number of learning experiences out of it.
The project 4U given young people who for various reasons have found it difficult to enter or complete a secondary education, the opportunity to get out on the practical "driving-course" in local businesses. Here they can sniff the life and work of a business and build a better understanding of their own abilities and capabilities and the demands of the labor market. The companies operate certain employees as mentors and role models for the young participants in the way of helping them to get a better grip on their opportunities for education and career. The project is implemented across the country as locally based collaborations between local businesses and youth actors.
Methodical and practical limitations Greve municipality since 2011, along with six other municipalities participated in the project 4U and among other things, the local youth center, UUV Køge Bay, sent several young people in training at local businesses with great success. Nevertheless, the project work also led to a number of considerations about the very thing to work methodically and practically within established frameworks in a project.
At the start of the project statement UU center gross group of 24 young people who belonged to the group of young people who might benefit from getting on driving trajectory. All these young people were characterized as concern young people, crime risk youth or youth who had already plate twists been in contact with the system for a long time, and where it had not yet managed to get the young people on the path to education. But early experiences from the project quickly pointed out that several of the young people struggling with such difficult personal, social or academic problems that in no way was neither ready or motivated to implement a training in a company. And the companies on their part was not in always in line to make their business available to them. Project manager Margaret Tovgaard says:
"We va ri start of the belief that if we mobilized all good k ræfter plate twists around plate twists the young and went specifically and individually to each e asy case, we would be successful. But we soon realized that it would be a few who came internship and that we, for the most part, had to look for alternative activities and methods. We therefore decided plate twists to adjust the focus of the project plate twists and see more of what we could instead learn and get out of the interdisciplinary cooperation in the youth as the project is based on? "
Focus Switching Based on the observed issues decided the team behind the project to shift the focus of the project and make more use of time and resources to monitor and collect the experience of cooperation between the different actors in the project and on how to put together the best deal with the issues, that characterizes the group of young people who do not succeed in getting course in business.
The crucial experience from the project, according Margrethe plate twists Tovgaard that cooperation around the young people who have difficulties in the transition from school plate twists to secondary education should be interdisciplinary and holistic. There are the cases most often are such complex issues that the entire young life situation must enter the picture in order to develop the young person's motivation and ability to embark on an education. A holistic and multidisciplinary approach requires part time but also common objectives, plate twists economy, priority, structure and framework, as a methodical and practical limited project does not necessarily hold. Overall, 4U project therefore provided many learning experiences for youth education center's work, which will be incorporated into the ongoing cooperation in the youth.
