SEMPER AVANTI

The project will update the curricula with elements related to sustainable development as a result of cooperation with companies and exchange of experiences with educational institutions in Norway. Thus, it directly influences the development and promotion of the VET sector (TVET) and increases cooperation between schools and employers.

For many years, we have been successfully supporting vocational schools and technical colleges in sending students for apprenticeships in European countries. Under the Erasmus+ programme, nearly 10,000 students from across Poland have already completed placements in cooperation with us. Students carry out full-time placements in line with their field of study, at companies with long-standing industry experience – gaining practical skills under the supervision of specialists while practising their language skills and developing key competences. We connect candidates with a wide range of employers with whom they will be able to build their careers. When selecting partner employers, we apply strict standards of ethics, workplace safety, market reputation and respect for employees. We look after our interns throughout the entire placement – maintaining regular contact with employers and handling all formalities – so that candidates can focus fully on gaining skills and experience, without the stress of complex bureaucracy. Apprenticeships and internships are an ideal opportunity to test yourself in your chosen field and gain knowledge essential for the labour market – and they may well be the deciding factor when an employer is choosing a new hire! We send both Polish students for placements abroad (VET out) and welcome international students for on-site placements in Poland (VET in). Are you interested in an internship or apprenticeship abroad?

We run short- and long-term European volunteering under the European Solidarity Corps (ESC). Our projects cover a wide variety of volunteering types, taking place in both the more popular regions of Europe and in its lesser-known corners. The programme offers a unique opportunity to live in another country, experience an adventure, and meet like-minded people from across the continent. Most importantly, it is about making a real difference for local communities and our planet! During the volunteering period, participants can gain valuable professional experience related to their interests and receive the Youthpass certificate – a recognised proof of their work as a volunteer on the European labour market. Our current offer includes projects on a wide range of themes: from caring for sea turtles for two months in Turkey to spending twelve months in Italy working with young people and individuals with disabilities or a migration background. There are also projects focused on cultural and artistic activities. If you do not find anything that suits you right now, please get in touch – we will reach out as soon as something closer to your expectations becomes available! We send volunteers abroad and host international volunteers here in Poland. We handle all formalities and support volunteers throughout the entire duration of the project. The rules are simple – no prior experience, special skills or formal qualifications are required. If you are between 18 and 30 years old and want to have the adventure of a lifetime while making a difference, ESC volunteering is made for you! Are you interested in international volunteering?

We support schools in organising Youth Exchanges – short-term projects for people aged 13 to 30, lasting from 5 to 21 days. The exchanges are educational and integrative in nature, bringing together participants from different countries to collaborate on projects covering a wide range of topics. Alongside the project work, participants take part in exercises, workshops and role-playing games that foster multicultural integration and help build lasting international friendships. Upon completing an exchange, participants receive the YouthPass certificate, which opens up many opportunities across Europe. We also facilitate interschool exchanges involving students from primary schools, technical colleges and secondary schools. Our role is to help schools complete the necessary applications, find a host organisation in the partner country, and coordinate the entire exchange process. Participants gain the chance to broaden their horizons, experience a new European culture, make new friends and improve their language skills. Our services in this area are entirely free of charge, provided as part of our statutory activities. Do you represent a Polish school? We would be happy to help!

We organise training courses and conferences covering a wide range of subjects, designed for anyone interested in personal development and strengthening their professional competences – regardless of age. In the near future, we plan to run overseas training programmes for teachers aimed at raising their professional qualifications, with a positive impact on the quality of education in our country. Would you like to organise a training course with our support?

SemperAvanti carried out an extensive need gap analysis in, targeting youth workers and educational stuff from one side and migrant youths aged 20-29 from our region. The aims of the research on youth workers were to: 1. To assess the availability and awareness of national training and educational programs supporting financial literacy and entrepreneurial competency for youth migrants in the respective countries of the participants. 2. To evaluate the confidence level of youth workers in identifying early signs of migrant youth at risk of becoming NEET, providing insight into their ability to recognize and address potential challenges. 3. To identify the resources or support lacking in the work of youth workers with migrant youth, highlighting areas that may require additional attention or resources. 4. To determine the specific training or skills gaps perceived by youth workers in effectively supporting migrant youth, providing guidance on areas for professional development. 5. To gauge the preparedness of youth workers in providing financial literacy and entrepreneurial education to youth migrants, indicating their level of readiness to deliver such programs effectively. 6. To understand the frequency of encountering barriers in the work with migrant youth in terms of enhancing their employability, providing insight into the challenges faced in this regard. 7. To assess the perceived effectiveness of current programs in addressing the needs of migrant NEET youth, offering an understanding of the extent to which existing initiatives meet the target population's requirements. 8. To identify the barriers faced by youth workers in accessing funding or resources for programs aimed at migrant youth, highlighting challenges in resource mobilization. 9. To determine the frequency of access to capacity building and training programs for youth workers to effectively support migrant youth, indicating the availability of professional development opportunities. 10. To ascertain whether youth organizations have developed internal training programs for migrant youth, providing insight into the organization's capacity to address the specific needs of this demographic.

1. To identify the challenges faced by young migrant NEETs in accessing financial literacy and entrepreneurial education, including potential barriers such as language, lack of targeted programs, limited internet access, and difficulty in finding resources. 2. To gauge the perceived importance of financial and entrepreneurial literacy for the future of young migrant NEETs and understand their level of awareness regarding its significance. 3. To assess the awareness and availability of national programs or courses supported by the government on financial literacy or entrepreneurial training among young migrant NEETs.
