YEP MED Project:

The YEP MED (Young Employment in Ports of the Mediterranean) project is an initiative for social inclusion in the port-logistics labour market co-financed by the ENI CBCMED Programme.

YEP MED aims to develop vocational training courses in port logistics, with contents adapted to the needs of the sector, in order to strengthen the skills and knowledge of two groups particularly affected by unemployment: young people and women. Ten partners from 7 countries bordering the Mediterranean (Spain, Italy, France, Tunisia, Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan) have joined forces with the common objective of training young people and women, with new Blue Economy skills adjusted to the current market of the regions involved in the project, in order to promote social inclusion and fight against poverty. Two partners have also joined this initiative: MEDPorts and the Consell Valencià de la Joventut.
