How the process works with youth workers

They make an appointment with the youngster, a friendly speak to get to know the person, where he or she lives, what does she or he do at the moment etc then they fill in a form together

Based on :

-Which language they speak

-Their educational background

-if they have work experience etc

-what are they good at , for example social skills, working with clothes , babies etc

based on all those information they make a planning

which first to see what the person likes and if he or she can work in that field based on knowing what they are good and ask some more question etc

then they make a C.V together

Example :

They make an c.v for someone who likes to work in a clothing store, they make sure everything looks good in c.v , picture etc and go together to the stores , they also have usually a data base of stores companies etc looking for people so they suggest those as well but if those are not what the person likes, its all good and no pressure , they try the ones he or she likes as well , its an internship first

About 6 months sometimes less, and they suggest what to do etc to have a chance to be hired probably after the internship, during these job/internship hunting appointments , they usually meet up before have a coffee, and aim is in a friendly and easy going way motivate the person to go for this job and internships.

If the person wants to study and is still young they also help out to find a way to get him to study etc

The whole approach toward these youngster is extremely friendly , because they are very venerable and sensitive, with low self steam and usually think they cant do anything or society doesn’t have a place for them , they have been judged etc , so the approach is more like a parent , sister etc toward them and encourage them to follow what they like , basically their dream or just find a way to be able to work and pay for their needs.

1- I think the ‘’badge’’ project can be very useful for the C.V of the people who don’t have any work experience, therefor for the youth workers it can be extremely useful, imagine if in the section of interest and traits, they mention organizing ability, ability to work in a team, social skills, etc and they have a badge for it, they would actually have an experience for those traits they mention in their C.V ,therefore it highers the chance for getting a job.

2- The youth workers already doing their best to provide a better life for the youth they work with , it’s important to be aware and use it as a complement at the beginning of interview and be someone who likes to offer extra help next to what they do already.

Sectoral structure according to number of jobs (in %)

Unemployment by educational level in %

Another indicator of labour market prospects for students with various educational degrees are unemployment rates per educational level. Unemployment rates are highest for those with only primary education (9.2%). Those with a secondary educational degree are somewhat better off as their unemployment rate is around 6.5%. People with a tertiary educational degree have significantly better chances of finding a job. For those with a bachelor degree (from either a UAS or research university), the unemployment rate is 2.6%. For those with a master of PhD degree this is 3.3%. The general picture is that the unemployment rate declines with the educational level.

One interesting observation, however, is that people with a more practice-oriented tertiary education (SVE and HPE/UE bachelor) have better labour market prospects than those with a masters or PhD degree from a research university. Among all educational levels, those with a more technical-oriented study tend to have better labour market prospects than those who follow a more social/economic-oriented study.

DutchNews.nl: Strongest economic growth in Amsterdam, highest unemployment in Rotterdam http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2017/04/strongest-economic-growth-in-amsterdam-highest-unemployment-in-rotterdam/

City of Rotterdam Regional Steering Committee (2009), “The City of Rotterdam, The Netherlands: Self-Evaluation Report”, OECD Reviews of Higher Education in Regional and City Development, IMHE, http://www.oecd.org/edu/imhe/regionaldevelopment

In 2016 At 3%, Amsterdam registered the strongest growth of the four largest Dutch cities. Growth in both Utrecht and Rotterdam was put at 2.3% while The Hague trailed at 2.2%.

Unemployment was highest in the Rotterdam region, the CBS added, reaching 11.3% in the region and 8.2% in the city itself. In the country as a whole, some 6% of the working population was without a job.

Based on SWOT-analyses in this self-evaluation report it is clear that regional cooperation in the city region of Rotterdam leaves room for improvement. At the moment regional cooperation is often fragmented and not well-structured, although in specific cases there are successful examples of regional cooperation

From the SWOT analysis it is clear that incentives for regional cooperation seem to be missing. Funding mechanisms of the institutions involved are not targeted at enhancing cooperative structures at regional level. Aside from that, the regional market for higher education appears to be largely segmented and is characterised as complex

Moreover, stakeholders involved do not experience concrete incentives to cooperate with each other. What appears to be lacking is a common sense of urgency for action. Also a structure for sustainable partnerships is not available.

serious need for a structure to initiate and coordinate regional cooperation.

‘’And most importantly what I understood, although there is shared vision in-between corporations, local businesses etc, to create more jobs, develop further etc, there is a high level of competition and low level in collaboration, etc in-between them and most importantly the motivation and drive to collaborate together.

Which is the same when it comes to motivate the social workers to work with, same goes for the smaller segments such as youth and unemployed population.’’
