YOUTH TRAINING

closed

The objective of the Youth Training Project for Hungary is to help adolescents and young adults make the transition from school to work, thus reducing youth unemployment. To reach this objective, the project will provide equipment, software, and technical assistance and training to continue development and strengthening youth vocational orientation and training programs. There are two components. The first component strengthens and modernizes post-secondary and post-compulsory school specialized training programs for young people to facilitate their entry into the labor market. Its subcomponents finance technical assistance: 1) for project coordination and promotion, fellowship training, equipment, and software; 2) for writing teams of curriculum developers in occupational specialties; 3) for institutional infrastructure development in management, operations, and procurement; and 4) for staff training. The second component expands the number of secondary vocational schools applying the new core curriculum and occupational orientation programs developed under the Hungary Human Resource Project. Its subcomponents provide hardware, software, and limited technical assistance and staff training to assist secondary vocational schools to implement the seven new academic core curricula for grades 9 through 12 and to implement vocational orientation curricula in grades 11 and 12.
