Empowering Youth Through Career Guidance and Employability Skills

The Path to Success Training Course is part of the Erasmus+ KA2 Cooperation Partnership project “Path to Success – Empowering Youth for the Future through Career Guidance”, coordinated by Asociația Be You (Romania) in partnership with Spark Foundation (Poland), ZPTM Brežice (Slovenia), and Youthfully Yours (Slovakia).

Context

In today’s fast-changing labour market, young people often face uncertainty when planning their professional future — balancing skills, ambitions, and opportunities. The Path to Success project was created to help them navigate this transition.
This training course equips youth workers, educators, and career counselors with innovative career guidance tools and methods that make career counseling practical, inclusive, and engaging.

This international training course for youth workers focuses on career guidance, employability, and non-formal education.
Participants will explore how to implement and adapt the project’s main educational tools:

• Career Guidance in Action Handbook – A collection of 20 tested good practices in youth career orientation.
• Career Counseling Program – A structured educational toolkit with sessions on self-awareness, soft skills, and labour market exploration.
• Job Interview Card Game – A gamified learning tool that helps young people prepare for job interviews in an interactive and fun way.
