ESC: Potenzial Jugend - supporting youngsters with fewer opportunities

Potenzial Jugend offers training to young people 15-21 years old with special educational needs. The aim is to integrate them in the labour market. As a volunteer you will assist in training of the youngsters and get to know techniques for preparing youngsters with special educational needs for working situations. You will also work and reflect with our participants on the topic of cultural differences and the so-called “unknown” or “the other”. So you could join the trainings per group about once a week and give our participants insight into your cultural environment at home, but related to the topics we are working on in Potenzial Jugend, e.g. differences of the job market of your country and Austria. You will get support from the trainer team to develop your own ideas and to implement your sessions within the group. You will work about 30 hours per week from Monday to Friday. The time schedule and your tasks depend on the programmes for the groups of youths.
