Projekt UK Youth Contract ve Velké Británii se zaměřuje na mladé lidi ve věku od 16 do 17 let, kteří jsou ohroženi tím, že se stanou NEET (nejsou zaměstnaní ani se neúčastní vzdělávání nebo odborné přípravy). Tři klíčové cíle: Cíl 1: hlavním cílem programu je poskytovat podporu mladým lidem ve věku od 16 do 17 let, které jsou NEET a které jsou ohroženy dlouhodobou ztrátou možnosti se vzdělávat, absolvovat odbornou přípravu nebo získat zaměstnání s odbornou přípravou a tento stav si udržet. Cíl 2: zvyšovat zkušenosti a kvalifikaci u mladých lidí tak, aby měli příležitost pokračovat ve vzdělávání a úspěšně si najít práci, čímž se sníží podíl nezaměstnaných v dospělém věku. Cíl 3: posuzovat metody poskytování místní pomoci a platby v závislosti na výsledcích, zvyšovat efektivitu těchto modelů a rozvíjet osvědčené postupy.

Tento nový projekt vypracovaný ve Francii umožňuje žákům lépe porozumět hospodářskému a odbornému světu, uvědomovat si rozmanitost povolání a odborné přípravy, zvyšovat jejich smysl pro povinnost a iniciativu a formovat směr, kterým se chtějí ve svém vzdělávání a profesionální kariéře ubírat.

The Danish Production schools were created in the 1980s with the aim of combating youth unemployment. Production Schools offer alternative education opportunities to improve labour market integration. The fundamental aim of this type of school is to create a practical learning environment to support young people to complete and earn qualifications in general and vocational upper secondary education and/or maintain a job. The students are offered the opportunity to develop professional, social and personal skills through counselling, participation in practical work experience and production in different workshops ranging from areas such as metalwork, carpentry and textile work in theatre, media and music-based workshops. The focus is on social, personal and physical skills which are complemented by more formal knowledge and skills. Learning processes are organised through workshops and classroom teaching, but every young person is free to organise an individual course where they may challenge themselves and build their confidence.
The most significant challenge for production schools is to prepare and motivate “non-academic” students for the ordinary school system. The last legislative change in 2006focused the aims of Production Schools so that its most important task has been to build a bridge to vocational education and training through relevant practical and academic qualifications. In 2009, there were over 6,000 students in production schools. The student capacity at each school can vary from 20-25 to over 200. Generally speaking the schools are small, with half of the schools accepting fewer than 50 students. Today there are 78 Production Schools in Denmark.
