About project

The AIM

“Central Baltic Region youth trying different professions”, or in short, “Your future profession” project aims to address the employment challenges faced by young people aged 18-25, focusing on improving their ability to overcome failures and fostering entrepreneurship, leadership skills, self-realization, and personal development. The Project is about increasing the employability and entrepreneurial capabilities of young individuals. By supporting informal education activities during the project, the goal is to back the transition from education to employment. By doing so, the project enhances the competitiveness and personal development of young people taking a part in it.

The project PROCESS

“Your Future profession” will consist of two six month cycles, in which a total of 80 unique participants will participate. The first cycle of the project will start on November 1st with an ONLINE kick-off event, where participants will get to know the project’s programme and leadership team, as well as be inspired by the speakers and guests of the event. During the first month of the project, the participants will work individually with career counselors and take various career and personality tests in order to define their interests, strenghts and potential career paths. From December to April, the participants will have the opportunity to visit various companies in so called “Strike Practices”, work individually with mentors, and once a month participate in online events and joint workshops about various professional and personal growth topics. In the last month of the project, the most active participants will have the opportunity to go on an international internship exchange.

The first cycle of the project will be concluded in April 2025, but the main kick-out event will take place at the end of the second cycle of the project on November 27th and 28th, 2025 in person, in Liepaja (Latvia), during which all 80 participants from both project cycles will gather to network, gain additional knowledge, experience, and motivation to move forward towards their career goals.
