We want to start a new project: 'Networking for Work'. Many of our young people indicate that they do not know how to find work for advice, an internship or a (side) job. They often have little or no network from home.
We would like to train young people in networking (what is a network, how can this help you, what is your network, how do you expand it and use it?) and then have them apply what they have learned in a networking breakfast with representatives of the Rotterdam business community. With the goal of securing a (side) job or internship.
We propose a pilot project: In this pilot 50-60 young people follow the training networking for work; they then get the chance in a networking lunch with Rotterdam businesses to get a (side) job or internship. Our goal is that 80% of the young people are successful and have found an internship, side job or job at the end of this program. After evaluation we will scale up this program.
