17. Youth Unemployment Action Plan: Targets and results
10,000 secondary school leavers per year will opt to stay at school for a further year
……..more than 22,000 stayed at school for a further year
All youngsters (<27) will be working or actively seeking work within 3 months
……..40% finds a job within 3 months, 65% within half a year
……..actively seeking is difficult to measure
Due to new legislation each youngster has to accept a job or, if that is not possible, education.
25% of all vacancies to be filled by under 27s
……..we fullfilled 35% untill now
Registration of all school leavers
………is still an uphill battle
30 regional agreements
……..we have 30 effective cooperative action plans, committed by all our partners
Municipality is responsible, work first etc.
April 2011, Budapest

18. Our uphill battle
It is difficult to measure what we (together) achieved because all partners have different registration systems
Working together takes time
We still have a large number of unqualified school leavers
We still don’t know how to reach young people who are not known by any agency
No shows on appointments and events
Decrease of budget for PES
