CYC supports young people from unprivileged backgrounds to increase their employment capacity,motivation, resilience and job application skills. CYC helps the target audience develop key career competencies -learning to learn, setting goals, time management and productivity. CYC aims to strengthen the digital capacity of European career guidance using innovative digital methods for the Career Profiling and Planning Tool and key competence training to achieve 40% higher learning effectiveness.

Partners will conduct a human - centred approach research to uncover hidden barriers to employment and professional development and produce a policy recommendation report based on it. The findings will inform the design of a Career Profiling and Career Planning Tool to present attainable career positions and ways for those to be achieved. A digital training platform with chatbot as a pocket mentor will be developed for key career skills with short daily videos and application tasks.

We expect to reach a total of 1500 target audience young people in the course of the project, have 25% of them complete both career path and training, 60% complete career path, 10% of those apply for a job. We expect to have 400 young people who completed the key career competence training and we expect to pilot both tools in 1 school and train 150 teachers to guide students how to use the tools. 40% higher learning effectiveness of career tools developed using CYC methods.
