We are directing our activities to two main target groups:

• Young people, aged 16-30,
• Youth workers and youth practitioners.

We are planning to engage young people with fewer opportunities, who are often  struggling with the transition from education to employment, as well as those having additional barriers in accessing the labour market and being otherwise marginalised. They will participate in the research on soft skills development among young people, as well as provide feedback on the tools developed during the course of the project.

At the end of the project we expect that participating youth will be able to:
- understand the value of soft skills, what they are and how they are demonstrated,
- recognise where they have demonstrated strengths/improvement in their soft skills development identify and articulate examples of situations that illustrate a particular soft skill,
- take personal ownership of soft skills development and work independently to reflect on their personal journey,
- will be motivated and willing to engage with their soft skills development


The second target group, the practitioners, constitutes of youth workers, trainers, teachers, mentors etc. who are working with young people and are helping them to develop their soft skills. They will be the main beneficiaries of the toolkit on soft skills development.
For these practitioners, we expect that as a result of their participation, they will:
- Have a better understanding of what the priorities are in terms of supporting soft skills development amongst young people,
- Have tools and guidance to ensure that soft skills development is fully integrated into a specific activity/intervention,
- Improve their approach to supporting soft skills development in young people.
