As one of the idealists and founder of idea, I must say that the biggest challenge was motivating young people that skills do count and not diplomas will get them jobs.

Secondly, the bridge between employers and young people is in the time of crisis as now is especially hard and all tools that enables it are more than welcomed.

Life long learning will be top priority for modern jobs in future I think.

Great project for youth... and hopefully with great outcomes for young job-seekers!

Well done!

 

This looks like a great project and there are similar projects across London where young adults are taking responsibilities for the civic society. I can't agree more that this will help the future generations.

Hi! Well we are doing our best;)

Contact where you can reach us is info@nefiks.net - and indeed, Nefiks is not practical only for youth but also for other generations.

Especially the e-version of it is practical to use and free of charge for everybody on this link: http://enefiks.talentiran.si/ but unfortunatelly only in Slovenian language - for now!

Excellent project, interesting to compare this sort of approach with LinkedIn, which a lot of people in the UK are using now, but which I suspect is less appealing to younger people who are just at the start of their careers.

 

I also like the way in which online and offline complement one another - so e-Nefiks can hold more information and be accessed easily from anywhere; but the Nefiks booklet is a more tangible record of achievement, and no doubt the fact that people write in the booklet directly (using a pen rather than a keyboard!) makes the impression of personal recommendation more powerful.

Another advantage of e-Nefiks is also that it is free - and easily accesable from web-site www.talentiran.si!

Most of young people use e-Nefiks, but there are a lot of them who are using both.

we are also trying to develop "emloyment literacy" through Nefiks project - rise the awarness about how impoprtant is to know what your skills are, how to write a CV, cover letter ... Recording experiences in Nefiks makes that easier :)

Do you know how many young people use Nefiks (electronical version or booklet)? what's the total number?

Interesting idea to connect Nefiks with Lindekin - for now we managed to include in Europass CV and Youthpass. In future maybe we will also find a way how to connect social networks with it, but for now the biggest obsticle is Slovenian law about protection of personal data, which is very strict...
