The project is solved by three non-governmental organisations – V.I.A.C. – Institute for youth support and development from Slovakia as applicant, Plán B. from the Czech Republic and Pro Vobis from Romania. All those organisations are experienced in the topic of volunteering, its support and development and this project is another step in raising the quality of volunteering in our countries. The main need, we come from, is the fact that although we speak a lot about volunteering, and the number of young people who are participating as volunteers increased, volunteering still isn’t much appreciated from employers, so there is almost no connection between volunteers and labour market. Young people very often start being volunteers because for them it is opportunity to spend their leisure time meaningfully and they want to become useful. But they cannot see connection between volunteering and their future entrance to the labour market. Very often, when we motivate young people, who haven’t any experience with volunteering, to become volunteers, they don’t understand why they should work for free, because they don’t believe they will be able to use this experience in the future while looking for job. Looking for the solution how to contribute to improving recognition of competences gained in volunteering with the labour market must be more complex and has to include different types of companies and organisations as well as volunteers and youth organisations. That is the reason we decided to connect three organisations that are experienced in the field of volunteering to make first steps in opening this topic in our countries and bring positive change. The main objective of the project is to contribute to recognizing skills of young people gained in volunteering in the labour market through connecting volunteers, business companies and non-governmental sector organisations. There will be three intellectual outputs created:1.Research among employers and among young people to find out their relation to volunteering, if they see it important in connection with the entrance to labour market. We also want to focus on experience of employers if young people even mention their volunteer experience in their CVs and what is helpful during the job application process to attract employers. 2.Volunteer recruitment database - will be small “social network,” where volunteers and employers can connect and fulfil their needs. There will be possibilities for young volunteers and also for HR experts and representatives of companies to create their profiles there. Young volunteers will be able to create their profile, describe their volunteer experience, number of working hours, NGOs, where they did their volunteering or name of non-formal groups. There will be possibility to measure their competences gained in volunteering through connecting to application IM-PROVE, that was created in another strategic partnership by our Czech associated partner INEX SDA and that is already tested with the target group of young volunteers. NGOs will have a space register there, to confirm information and competences of their volunteers, write short recommendations or reviews about them and give them their contact for references. Volunteers also will be able to generate their volunteer CVs with all those reviews and references and add it to their job applications. Also companies and firms will be able to create a profile there and place there their job offers – long-term but also short-term, or choose volunteers directly based in their experience and expertise. 3.Methodology for young volunteers how to “sell” their competences gained in volunteering to employers. We will use the outcomes from the research among employers and among young volunteers and prepare material, that will help young volunteers to improve their entrance to the labour market. There will also be 6 business breakfasts organized in every country for networking of companies and NGOs and final conferences about volunteering in every country.
