🎯🌍 Erasmus+ Training Course in Lithuania 🇱🇹 Today’s Choices Career UP for Youth Workers Supporting Young People in Modern Career Guidance

📌 Training Course Overview
“Today’s Choices: Career UP” is an international Erasmus+ Training Course designed for youth workers and professionals active in non-formal education who support young people in personal development, decision-making, and career orientation. The course responds to the increasing uncertainty young people face when navigating career paths in a fast-changing social and labour-market context.

Career guidance is approached not as a one-time decision, but as a continuous and evolving life process connected to self-awareness, values, competences, and external influences. The training focuses on empowering youth workers to guide young people realistically, ethically, and without pressure.

📍 Location
Birštonas, Lithuania 🇱🇹

🧠 What the Training Focuses On

🎓 Learning Approach
The training is highly interactive and practice-oriented, combining short theoretical inputs with experiential learning. Participants will take part in reflection labs, simulations, group work, facilitation practice, and guided peer learning. Strong emphasis is placed on the role of youth workers as facilitators and supporters rather than decision-makers in young people’s career journeys.

Youth workers, educators, social workers, counsellors, youth project coordinators, mentors of youth volunteers, and professionals working in non-formal learning settings who want to strengthen their competences in career guidance.

By the end of the training, participants will leave with increased confidence, concrete tools, and a clearer framework for supporting young people in building flexible and sustainable career pathways.
