Youth Initiative Aalborg

The purpose of the projectYouth initiatives Aalborg will make more young people ready for training and maintained in an upper secondary education by having an increased focus on support in transitions through increased flexibility and collaboration and with an intensive, coordinated effort from the Education House’s case managers and advisors in UU Aalborg. The idea is based on the fact that the municipality has a wide and well-comprehensive range of preparatory offers, which can, however, be made even better by increased flexibility and cooperation between the actors. The cooperation between the actors and the coordinated intensive efforts of the Education House are mutually dependent and will support each other through the project. Activities of the project A flexible mobile coordinating team is created with Jobcenter case managers and UU counsellors. In this team, caseworkers have a limited number of cases and will therefore be able to establish a better relationship with the individual youngsters and be able to make a handheld individual effort. In addition, there will be resources for knowledge sharing and relationship building with the training actors and the preparatory services, so that services can be tailored according to the individual young person’s needs. The intention is that each young person receives the support and continuity of the effort he/she needs and thereby becomes ready for training and maintained in training.A cooperation agreement is developed between the actors, which ensures that financial and administrative barriers do not stand in the way of different bridge-building paths. This ensures the flexible, individual approach beyond the lifetime of the project and will also in future be able to help more young people in the difficult transitions with choice, retention and implementation of education. The project’s financial partners are AMU Nordjylland Aalborg, Job Centre Young and UU Aalborg.The project is a broad collaboration consisting of AMU Nordjylland, Aalborg Municipality’s educational centre (Jobcenter Ung, UU-Aalborg, Social Centre Ung), Training College, TAMU, Aalborg Youth School, VUC North Jutland, several day colleges (AOF, Fokus, Sind, Women’s Day School), Aalborg Youth School, Lille Vildmose School of Aalborg. Project results The project’s performance targets are set at 80 % of participants in training immediately after participation. The project’s experience and results will be closely followed by the Youth Strategy Management Group, which is responsible for the preparation of Aalborg Municipality’s Youth Strategy.
