The ILO, with the collaboration of MTV,\u00a0awarded companies that implemented good practices regarding youth employment. 103 businesses from 57 countries entered the contest; however, the committee of experts chose three of them.<\/p>\n

Each one of the winning practices provided innovative solutions that helped disadvantaged young people to improve their self-esteem, acquire skills that enhanced their employability and helped them get a foothold in the labour market.<\/p>\n

In the Netherlands<\/strong>, the winning project encouraged disadvantaged young people to reorganise their lives after leaving their studies or jobs. A tutor who had gone through a similar experience helped the young people to find new challenges that would enable them to redirect their efforts and reconnect with what they had abandoned.<\/p>\n

The Dutch project, 2GetThere<\/em><\/strong>, is for young people aged 16 to 27 living on the margins of society. They learn how to become their own solution. They overcome their unemployment situation with their personal strengths. In this way, the programme helps them to become self-sufficient.<\/p>\n
