Title and acronym: Crafting Career Roadmaps [CURSOR] Project type: Erasmus+ Project for Cooperation for Innovation and Exchange of Good Practices – Strategic Partnerships for Youth Ref. no.: 2017-3-CY02-KA205-001117
Promoter /Coordinator: SEAL CYPRUS Duration: 01.05.2018 to 30.04.2020 Actual stage: In progress Total project cost: 85 424 Euro Total expenditure (grant) for the University of Pitesti: 14 920 Euro Local coordinator for the University of Piteşti: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dumitru Chirlesan Summary: The project seeks to address the issue of youth unemployment which was 17,7% (3.905 million young persons) in EU in February 2017 while during the last year in the partners' countries was 29,1% in Cyprus, 17,7% in Poland, 17,2% in Ireland and 20,6% in Romania according to Eurostat.
Career support in youth work settings is limited and in most cases amounts to providing access to career guidance products that are normally available in formal education settings. The partners believe that it is time for a completely new approach to support the development of career planning skills among disadvantaged youth target groups. Moreover, the partners have witnessed a lack in professional development training for youth workers working with disadvantaged youth as it regards to career planning.
The project proposes to develop a completely new career planning framework where young people are supported to acquire the necessary skills to plan their own career progression pathway and to retain those skills for use throughout their active working life. CURSOR proposes the modernization of career planning to reflect the reality of the European employment marketplace where a change in career path can be a frequent occurrence. CURSOR will harness the potential of digital technologies to develop a career planning framework, complete with all the required tools and resources, that benefits from blended learning; is free to service users and cost neutral to service providers; and easy to sustain and update in times of shrinking expenditure.
CURSOR will produce a career planning subject framework with outputs such as a Handbook for the youth professionals. Further, we will create a number of Career Planning Resources and digital tools such as the e-learning portal to help young people to develop the necessary skills to enable them to construct their own career progression pathway and update it as required throughout their working life.
Objectives:
With the project CURSOR we want to promote social inclusion of all young people through employment.
Our objective is to offer to youth professionals an opportunity for professional development along with innovative tools to use in their work so as to support the employability of young people with fewer opportunities.
We are proposing a new model of career planning as a subject instead of career guidance as a service; a subject with curriculum resources at different levels, with required learning outcomes and an assessment framework to measure attainment.
With CURSOR, the partners seek to enhance the international dimension of youth activities and to promote high-quality and inclusive youth work.
