The document discusses youth unemployment in Slovenia, noting that 82,000 youth aged 18-34 are inactive. It proposes establishing a non-profit organization to minimize the gap between education and the job market. The organization would analyze market needs, offer skills workshops and seminars for youth, and organize networking events between companies and youth. It would also provide training on resume writing, interviews, and simulations to help youth gain work experience and find employment.

2.  We took a closer look at Slovenia, since it
is our home country and we are
experiencing this problem
 Number of youth(18-34): cca 416,000
(20% of population)
 294,000 employed (70.67%)
 40,000 unemployed (9.61%)
 82,000 unactive (alarming amount !!!)
(19.71%)

4. The system is far from perfect, wich means
we should make more effort to gain
valuable experiences.
Youth is far too often inactive in taking
such actions, they are just waiting for
opportunities to come their way.

5.  Establish NGO that focuses on the
missing link between education and
economy (to minimize bureaucratic
hurdles)
 First step is to analise situation on the
market, to get in touch with companies
and recognize their needs

6.  Based on market needs we will organize
seminars and workshops, to improve
youth skills and by that show them room
for development
 Organization of networking events for
companies and youth
 Introduction of short unpaid/minimum
wage jobs (but pricless experience)¹
_________________________________________
¹ In Slovenia we know specific form of student employment where we
can earn money, however experiences are usually not very valuable –
you can work as waitress, tutor, salesperson and telemarketer.

7.  Organization will also offer preparation
for job interview (guidelines, trick
questions) and how to write CV and
cover letter
 For companies we will test potential
employees for their knowledge,
analytical thinking and how well they do
under pressure
 We will encourage youth to pass their
knowledge to their peers through virtual
classroom

8.  Another activity we want to offer are
different simulations (exp.: to run your
own virtual company)
 Participants will pay simbolic fee
 For promotion we will connect with
educational institutions
 We will invite our former participants to
come back and share their experience
and gained skills

9.  Because organization would like to
reach as many people as possible, the
seminars will be streamed on the internet
 Our vision is to spread worldwide, since
we are aware of importance of
globalisation, furthermore we would like
to connect with government and help
with much needed change of
educational system.

10.  Fast set up of NGO
 Help youth to take first steps towards
employment
 Help companies with their selection
process to find the right candidate
 Encourage youth to take initiative and
also to share their knowledge
