Jobs through Exchange, Mobility and Practice

JUMP is a Danish-German network project with 4 educational institutions and 2 universities on both sides of the border. JUMP aims at the integration of the actors into the cross-border training and labor market in the program region with a target group-specific skills training and a knowledge transfer into the future. In the program area a first impact of skill shortages can be noticed. Particularly in areas that require well-qualified professionals. This is what the existing initiatives and programs, such as the ”Fachkräfteinitiative Schleswig-Holstein” are focussing on. The measures initiated there can only partly help disadvantaged young people. They need more time to find the way into training/work. This can be done with practical experience and individual support. Our project wants to close this gap. As part of the networking tasks, the actors are planning various cross-border activities, e.g. the development and testing of customized training in intercultural and mobility training modules. They are also developing socially innovative models for the target groups working with companies that represent the strength positions of the region. Highlights include future camps for employees and participants. The final year will culminate in a project which can get public attention. Especially for our group of participants we need the crossing of the border experience to open new dimensions and profit from the intercultural and mobility aspects. The special significance of the project is that both companies and educational institutions that work with low-skilled young people as well as universities, in turn, are responsible for education research and teaching in educational programs, work together. The close cooperation between the different stakeholders are designed as a learning community, which operates regularly and systematically, to enhance practical knowledge according to the specific regional educational requirements to become a successful combination of education and labor market integration of young people to document and prepare for sustainable use. The new findings are being received in both the educational programs at the two universities as well as in further training activities of the project partners in an appropriate form. By increasing the integration German and Danish companies municipalities, job centers, the employment agency, educational institutions / universities and the public. will benefit from the project results.
