The general objective of the project is to prepare youth workers to use the method coaching to develop competences and qualities, that will help them unlock and realize their full potential; to increase their motivation for learning, self-improvement and personal confidence; to acquire soft skills (self-management, active listening, communication skills and skills for feedback), attitudes towards the development of their organizational culture, team compatibility and personal satisfaction; to realize their own personal values and life goals; to develop entrepreneurial spirit; to be flexible and compatible on the labour market. On the other hand the aim is to provide methods, tools and skills that will allow participants to have full readiness to help others to become more active, independent and aware of themselves and to lead them better in their personal, professional, social development and realization in life in general. To achieve the objectives, the project is directed to work with partner organizations based in countries where there is an identified need and necessity of improving the quality of professional orientation and realization of young people in the labor market. They directly support young people in their personal and professional development and through the project will be able to effectively use coaching as part of the methods and tools that youth workers apply for this purpose.
