Introduction
Youth workshops

Learning content of youth workshops
Youth workshops have been identified as learning environments and the activities of the workshops have been made more educational in cooperation with vocational institutes. In practice, workshop participants will have the opportunity to acquire skills that match the professional requirements of their vocational qualifications.
The skills obtained by a young person during the workshop period are identified and recorded in a skills certificate, which may be useful to the young person in the future, for example, when applying for vocational studies or employment. During the workshop period, the skills obtained by the young person are identified as agreed.
