JobTown Network Develops Local Partnerships for Youth Employment.

Download EN_1_Jobtown_Thematic_Pubblication.pdf (4.33 MB)builds upon material developed within the JobTown URBACT network and its activities. It is intended for any city or otherwise interested party, concerned with how to go about establishing an effective partnership for the advancement of youth employment and opportunity – particularly at the local level. Rather than a prescriptive declaration, the document is a support for readers seeking to articulate the model of cooperation that’s right for them, and what they want to get out of such cooperation. As the Module states, there is no one right model; it’s all about specific places and their specific needs, circumstances and possibilities – and trade offers. The module provides readers with useful checklist for determining the effectiveness and of partnerships as well as tips and tools for structuring a partnership. The core part of the module focuses on practical examples and tools from the JobTown network, on effective partnerships, participation of the target group and tools for articulating a partnership. The final chapter wraps up the document with some concluding remarks and observations. The project also developed a series of videos in support of their work, that are available here.
