The project partners believe that quality youth information and counselling services can only be achieved and ensured via trained professionals. The increasing emphasis on quality and quality assurance processes at different policy-making levels inspired ERYICA’s commitment to continue supporting youth (information) workers in acquiring the skills and competences needed to better meet the needs and expectations of young people.In this spirit, the DOYIT project developed an e-learning platform and filled it with updated and revised training curricula in the field of youth information and counselling. The specific objectives included increasing the outreach and efficacy of youth information training through the adaptation and integration of 4 training courses to this online learning platform, familiarising youth information workers, youth workers and trainers with these new training and learning methodologies using online environments and defining quality assessment tools and evaluation methodologies for online courses in the youth work sector.The activities of the project included not only the development and enrichment of the e-learning platform but the creation of a kit for the organisation of e-learning activities, a quality, evaluation and assessment guide, as well as a training of trainers. Furthermore, to further increase their outreach, one training course was translated into eight additional languages within the project, and another one into five. Pilot training courses ensured the finetuning of the results and at the same time the beginning of dissemination and the exploitation of project results.All the 10 project partners from Luxembourg, Finland, Croatia, Spain, Lithuania, Portugal, Estonia, Ireland and Austria provided input based on their expertise and experience for the benefit of the project development. The participants directly involved in the project activities were youth information workers, trainers, training course developers, lecturers and academics in the field of youth work, who provided a very relevant mix of expertise for realising the outputs successfully. Due to the involvement of partners both from the formal and non-formal education sectors, the accomplished outcomes provide increased and effective training outreach via new training methods to make youth information workers meet the expectations related to their profession; connect knowledge, know-how and skills with outreach, efficacy and quality; and increase the flexibility and openness of training delivery, among others. In the long run, these developments make training more accessible for the 28-country European network of ERYICA and considerably contribute to the quality development of youth information and counselling services throughout Europe.
