The SPECIAL training based on NEETS needs will stem from two of the most robust and reliable EU frameworks in the domain of education and training: EntreComp and LifeComp. SPECIAL takes stock of available best practices and case studies to (re)engage NEETs in education and training so as to sustain them in unleashing their potential for employability/job-hunting/development of entrepreneurial spirts.

The training material will respond to the needs of all identified targets. Consistently with the Council Recommendation on VET for sustainable competitiveness, social fairness and resilience (2020/C 417/01), SPECIAL will be:

• designing a training model that is designed to be readapted/adaptable to labour market, sectoral or individual up- or reskilling needs
• offering training and education resources that are learner-centred, access to face-to-face and digital or blended learning in flexible and modular pathways
• tackling the opportunity for skills development and enhance EU citizens employment prospect and participation in society – consistently with “Towards European Education Area ‘25”
• providing VET students high quality and innovative training tailored on skills for work, personal development that help them to get or create new jobs
