Get Going / druk 1

In this contribution a methodology is elaborated to motivate young people to break out of a deadlock for employment and schooling. Various types of institutions can train the youngsters' employability: educational organizations for vulnerable young youth, youth care organisations or organisations for reintegration of the unemployed. Motivating youngsters is the central theme of this publication. Backgrounds of unmotivated behaviour of (possible) dropouts are discussed. Moreover a methodology is introduced with which counsellors can motivate youngsters to 'get going' again. The way which the training scheme for employability is offered plays also an important role as well as organizational conditions, which must be met if training schemes for employability are to be successful. Some youngsters also threaten to get stuck in regular training schemes for employability. Special attention is given to this group hard to motivate youngsters. Get Going is a truly valuable read for counsellors
