Social Media Savvy (SMS)Because somebody grows up being a social media native, that doesn’t make them an expert in using social media at work or getting a job, this partnership has made it easier to find ways to progress into work. The project Social Media Savvy has taken young people on a interactive and challenging journey of social media creativity, enhancing their digital skills, personal branding and presentation skills through SMS Days and pilot actions with workshops and discussions. Almost all ‘SMS Products’ have been developed by young people, with young people and for young people. We started our project with producing our Social Media Study analysis. Prior to preparing the Country Reports we created a template. This template was formally agreed by the partnership. We then collected the answers using the template and provided information regarding the use of social media for the young jobseeker. The SMS Partnership has created, with young people for young people, the following deliverables:1.Beautiful SMS logo: We experimented with different logos and tested one in the initial stages of the project. We reviewed and revised the logo (following advice from young people), in agreement with all partners at the beginning of January 2019. The updated logo is fresher and more relevant to the information and guidance we will provide in relationship to the social media platforms -Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube. The old logo was more relevant for Snapchat and Reddit (which we have not really used in the project to date): Our study analysis made clear that these were not the platforms we would focus on. So, therefore, we had to change the initial logo and use the new one.We have produced extensive Social Media Country Reports with all the data we need for a global picture of the size of social media, the social media services of the labour market institutions, statistics regarding youth unemployment, early school leavers, NEETs, labour market and youth employment approaches in the United Kingdom, Netherlands and Spain: 2.Social Media Savvy Country Report United Kingdom3.Social Media Savvy Country Report Netherlands4.Social Media Savvy Country Report Spain5.Created and produced an SMS Workshop on “ How to use your mobile phone for presenting yourself professionally and social media savvy for your job search.
