<< Background >>I’M NEW project aims to provide youth workers and NEETs with qualitative educational resources, both theoretical and practical on the topic of digital, neuro and nano marketing, in order to develop their needed skills for emerging jobs in the current labour market, to overcome the rising youth unemployment. PORTUGALYouth unemployment remains relatively high, though measures have been taken to tackle the challenge. Youth unemployment (15-24) stood at 18.2% from 2019, above the EU average of 14.4%. The proportion of young people neither in employment nor in education or training (NEETs) decreased from 9.3% in 2017 to 8.4% in 2018 (below the EU average of 10.4%). However, the NEET rate differs greatly between regions in Portugal, from 17.8% in the Azores to 7.2% in the Centro region.SPAINWithin the EU, Spain is one of the countries with the highest proportion of young people in NEET situations. Youth Unemployment Rate in Spain decreased to 33 % in August from 34.70 % in July of 2021. Youth Unemployment Rate in Spain is expected to be 32.84 % by the end of this quarter, according to Trading Economics global macro models and analysts expectations. In the long-term, the Spain Youth Unemployment Rate is projected to trend around 32.34 % in 2022 and 31.64 % in 2023. During the pandemic, young workers in non-permanent contract or those who held jobs that require little academic training (such as, for example, the so-called ‘elementary jobs’) lost their jobs at a higher rate than those working on a permanent contract status (Spanish Youth Council, 2020).IRELAND Youth Unemployment Rate increased to 17.40 % in September 2021. Youth Unemployment Rate in Ireland is expected to be 17.60 % by the end of this quarter, according to Trading Economics global macro models and analysts expectations. In the long-term, the Ireland Youth Unemployment Rate is projected to trend around 17.20% in 2022 and 16.50% in 2023.The number of NEETS has been relatively consistent over the last 4 years ranging between 21,000 and 24,000 for the majority of quarters. Whilst the most recent quarter shows a higher number of NEETS, it is still below the levels seen before 2016.In January to March 2021 there were an estimated 21,000 young people (aged 16-24) in North Ireland who were not in education, employment or training (NEET). This is 10.4% of all people aged 16-24 years.LITHUANIA Youth Unemployment Rate increased to 19.50 % in August 2021. The very good performance on early school leaving helps to keep the share of young people neither in employment, nor in education or training (NEET) close to the EU average. However, the latest results of the 2018 OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) nonetheless show that, in all tested subjects, Lithuania’s mean performance is below the EU average. The proportion of underachieving pupils in science, reading, and mathematics remains practically unchanged since 2015.The emerging jobs in the new fields of marketing are requesting specific skills and competences. Addressing the issue of youth unemployment by creating theoretical and practical educational resources, we support youth workers and educational professionals to prepare NEETs and youth for required jobs in the current challenging labour market.The need to overcome the limitations of traditional research instruments to study the consumer behavior in marketing led to the emergence of a new research and labour field: neuromarketing. Neuromarketing is the application of neuroscience techniques to marketing. The perceptions and evaluation of marketing academics and marketers are crucial to the future of this field. There are a few academic programs specifically focused on neuromarketing or consumer neuroscience. Although a lot of the talk about neuromarketing seems to be U.S.-focused, the global interest appears stronger.<< Objectives >>OBJECTIVES. To provide educational resources to support youth workers to train NEETs on the topic of innovation in marketing; . To ensure the development of skills and competences of NEETs;. To reduce the labour market mismatch, by training youth in a needed field (new fields of marketing);. To encourage youth to continue developing their skills; The priorities have been chosen starting from a detected problem encountered by the consortium member, the one of youth employment and lack of skills and competences to explore emerging job in the field of marketing and the more specific branches (digital, neuro and nano marketing).As all the partners of the consortium have as objective the empowerment of young people and their integration in the labour market through educational activities and training, it is our duty to find the gaps in the labour market and to make sure that we create needed innovative educational resources for our youth workers and educational professionals to implement in their courses with NEETs and youth at risk of socio-economical exclusion. Our project intends to support youth workers to develop NEETs skills and knowledge in the field of marketing (digital, nano and neuromarketing), after analyzing the current labour market and its predictions and there is a need for professionals in this field. By providing educational resources, an online course (theory) and a manual of non-formal educational activities on the same topic, our project intends to offer the needed tools to youth workers to prepare future marketing professionals.Youth unemployment increased dramatically in several European Union countries during the Global Financial Crisis. It took several years before youth unemployment rates came down to, or fell below, pre-crisis levels. Even by 2019, this had not been achieved in all EU countries. The COVID-19 pandemic is now posing the same threat: younger generations are facing a harsher labour market than older generations.According to Eurostat, in August 2020, 3.032 million young people (under 25) were unemployed in the EU, of whom 2.460 million were in the euro area. In August 2020, the youth unemployment rate was 17.6% in the EU and 18.1% in the euro area, up from 17.4% and 17.8%, respectively, in the previous month. Compared with July 2020, youth unemployment increased by 64 000 in the EU and 69 000 in the euro area. According to the International Labour Office survey, one in six young people aged 18–29 (17.4%) stopped working since the onset of the crisis.Overall employment in marketing is projected to grow 10 percent from 2020 to 2030, about as fast as the average for all occupations.Before COVID-19 pandemic, brands majorly focused on reaching out to consumers through traditional or modern marketing techniques, however since the pandemic & lockdowns of cities, now brands have switched over to digital platforms to reach out to their consumers. This shall majorly remain the same even after the pandemic as it would have become a norm of the modern world by then. This lifestyle would have changed the buying habits of consumers, wherein now they would be more comfortable in spending more money on buying products online than they used to. Brands are focusing to reach out to these consumers through various channels to ensure maximum visibility & profitability. This primary marketplace change has left a huge void of digital marketing jobs which needs to be filled at the earliest, thus creating a huge opportunity for a career in digital marketing to grow tremendously.<< Implementation >>The achievement of the project objectives and delivery of the planned result depends on well implemented activities, according to the strategies and parameters set. Each activity of the project is thought and structured with the aim to target the priorities, to achieve the objectives and to create qualitative tangible results, especially project result and to have an important positive impact on the target groups, which also leads to the achievement of intangible results. Each activity has been assigned a leader to coordinate the working process, to oversee the other partners’ tasks and to ensure that deadlines are respected, as well as the quality of the result. We rely on agreements and quality plans which all the partners have already expressed their commitment.Activities from A1 to A14 (according to the Gantt) are financed under project management and implementation.A1 - Overall coordination of the project (P1), A3- Daily management (all) and A4- Transnational project meetings are all important to maintain a good communication flow between the partners and to organize the tasks according to the deadlines.
