Socio-occupational Programs for Youth (SOOJO)
Program contracted within the framework of the SOIB, promoted by the Employment Service of the Balearic Islands and funded by the European Social Fund (ESF+).
This is a Comprehensive Employment Guidance Service aimed at young people between the ages of 16 and 30, with the goal of supporting those at risk of social exclusion and with particular difficulties in entering the labor market to improve their employability.
Our service is contracted for a two-year period, with 451 placements available each year, and a team of 15 professionals distributed across 11 contracted units.
The investment for this year amounts to €846,035.41.
Our operational method provides individualized support so that each person can achieve their personal and professional goals, aligning their needs with social demands. To achieve this, we carry out a thorough analysis and diagnosis of each participant’s situation, which helps us to better understand each young person and identify and address their needs more accurately, allowing for the design of a tailored process.
The personalized pathway is co-designed by the young person and their counselor, based on a detailed evaluation of their specific needs. This guidance is structured through comprehensive mentoring and specific sessions that help improve their personal attitudes, skills, competences, and employment opportunities.
