The CLUSTER project is funded under ENI CBC MED programme with the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) as the lead partner and implemented through a consortium of partners from Italy, Cyprus, France, Jordan, Palestine and Tunisia. The project aims to  tackle social exclusion and poverty amongst vulnerable groups, with a focus on youth and women, capitalising on results of previous projects and equipping NEETs  with marketable skills in the Sustainable Economy sectors, capitalising upon a trilingual on-line platform that the IEMed manages as founder member and secretariat of the Euro-Mediterranean Women’s Foundation.

CLUSTER will create lasting impact on its final beneficiaries across the Euromed region. Through online tools such as training courses, e-platform and coaching sessions, the project will impact at least 2800 NEETs, strengthening their skills in sustainable economies and increasing their employment opportunities.  Employment services and education providers will boost their capacities to blend demand-supply skills, and economic actors will benefit from skilled youth workforce, which will contribute to long-term growth of the companies. Moreover, public operators in the Euromed area will be provided with tangible recommendations on the design of sustainable youth/women employment schemes based on designed Action Plans.
