About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Apply for a 11-month volunteering project in Wörgl, Austria! The hosting organisation BETA qualifies young people between 15 and 24 years for work and for finding a job. Most of the youngsters who come to BETA have learning difficulties and are having trouble in finding a job. About 10 youngsters are employed at BETA for one year period that should prepare them for real employment after this training programme. During this year they have the possibility to learn a lot of things and to acquire job qualifications for their future. Soft and hard skills are taught through working with wood, metal, doing gardening, working as a caretaker or in fulfilling simple office duties. Your task is to support the young people in the learning process and the trainers team in the daily work. For example: training school subjects and helping with home work, assisting in the work on computer and giving workshops.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will live in a private fully furnished studio apartment in the hosting organisation’s building located in the centre of the town. You are responsible for grocery shopping and cooking for yourself. You will receive a monthly food allowance in addition to the pocket money. The travel to Austria and back to your country after the project is covered by the European Solidarity Corps funding.

🎒 Leisure activities

German language course; On-arrival training and mid-term meeting in Austria; personal mentoring

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: We are looking for a volunteer who identifies with the project description and is willing to enrich the team at BETA. An interest in social work with young people, motivation and an open, friendly personality are important for this volunteering opportunity. Basic German language skills should be already available, as the youngsters do not speak much English. You can attend German classes during volunteering. The volunteer is also encouraged to bring in own ideas. We are open to host a volunteer who has a low educational background or is currently unemployed.
Deadline: Application deadline: 02/10/2023

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
