Development of prospects/vistas
Im Kontext von spacelab – PS Wien wird die aufsuchende Arbeit als Jugendarbeit im öffentlichen Raum und bei Events zur Information und Aktivierung der Zielgruppe definiert. Es gibt ausreichend Ressourcen für die aufsuchende Arbeit, um Jugendliche im öffentlichen Raum gezielt ansprechen X zu können und dadurch die Schwelle für eine Teilnahme zu reduzieren. Die Kooperation mit der offenen Jugendarbeit visiting ist ein zentraler Bestandteil von spacelab – PS Wien. work An allen Standorten, die dafür geeignet sind, gibt es einen „Offenen Raum“, der ein wichtiges niedrigschwelliges Angebot zum unverbindlichen (Wieder-)Andocken bei spacelab darstellt.
Der/die Perspektivencoach ist das Bindeglied zwischen allen Modulen und stellt auch die Verbindung zum AMS Jugendliche dar. Er/sie bietet kontinuierliche Beziehung, Begleitung und Betreuung an. Die Nachbetreuung soll lange genug andauern, sodass die Umstiege nachhaltig abgesichert sind. Ein Beratungstermin beim Perspektivencoach ist Voraussetzung für die Teilnahme an allen weiteren Modulen außer OAJA. Auch die Zuweisung durch das AMS erfolgt über den/die Perspektivencoach. Im Gegenzug vermittelt der/die Perspektivencoach Jugendliche, für die andere AMS-Angebote geeigneter erscheinen, an das AMS.

spacelab Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s Presentation
MOTIVES FOR THE REALISATION OF SPACELAB The experience of prior projects led to the development of the modular concept with different levels of personal commitment in 2009. Before there had not been any programme combining methods of open youth work and labour market aims. The realisation of spacelab should provide a lowthreshold programme for the youngsters that allows them to come back after dropouts.
TARGET GROUP Viennese youngsters from 15 to 25 years, who are neither in education, employment nor training (NEETs) and have a more difficult access to the labour market. The gender ratio is 70% male to 30% female participants. In 2012 spacelab supported 378 clients (271 m, 107 f).
SPACELAB THE ORGANISATIONS
spacelab is implemented by five NGOs, that provide and combine their particular expertise: Volkshilfe - Besch채ftigung (Vocational Training) Association of Youth Centres in Vienna (Youth Work) WUK (Assistance and Counselling) Wiener Volkshochschulen (Basic Education) Sprungbrett f체r M채dchen (Vocational Training and Counselling for young women)
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
Developement of personal and vocational prospects Activation of the target group Stabilise participants (in economic and mental terms) Develope their skills potential and competencies Practice-oriented occupational guidance To draw up personalised career developement plans Integrate them into support and employment systems or the labour market
