Youth unemployment is one of today’s most pressing challenges. Around 5 million young people aged 15-29 were unemployed in the EU in 2023. By creating innovative tools, including a digital platform for self-assessment and certification, YouthSportCV helps young people, particularly those not in education, employment, or training (NEETs), to showcase these skills to the labour market.

Through pilot programme activities involving youngsters from vulnerable areas of Pilot territories (Barcelona, Lisbon and Athens) and collaboration with coaches, educators, and employers, the project bridges the gap between informal learning in sport and real-world career opportunities, contributing to a more inclusive and future-ready workforce.
