Transnational cooperation is key to implement socioeconomic responses to address the lack of employment opportunities and the shortage of entrepreneurship skills of our youth. In response, the target of ALTAMIRA ALMA Leaders is to provide youth with the opportunity to gain new skills, knowledge and professional experience through tailor-made guidance, coaching, mentoring and training in a foreign company work environment.The ultimate aim is their social inclusion and that they find their place in the job market. This objective has a twofold approach: first, to help them find their way to labour market and integrate in the society, and second, to reinforce the role of social initiatives in our territory. In order to reach this goal, the project will promote individualised international work-related learning experience to young people in social economy companies of other EU countries. Besides improving skills, knowledge, experience and self-confidence to help young people find better job opportunities, this initiative expects to raise awareness about social economy benefits and change mindsets to transform our young participants into real changemakers that actively improve wellbeing in their communities. Recruitment and selection of participants will focus on the Besaya?s basin, an area with a marked rural-urban accent, suffering from those challenges emergent from the implementation and transition to a low carbon economy as well as the loss of competitiveness of the local industries. Additionally, the lack of employment opportunities in large part of the basin has generated an unprecedented social, economic and population crisis. In view of this situation, recruitment will focus on two target groups: young participants low skilled with disadvantages? backgrounds and long-term unemployed.
