Education to work transition is the phase encountered by youths while moving to labor market in search of job. This study was conducted to examine how Pahari youths in Badikhel's Godawari Municipality-4 transition from higher secondary education to employment using a qualitative interpretative inquiry as a research paradigm. The research explored the experiences of Pahari youth who dealt with evolving circumstances, beliefs, and perceptions over the time transitioning from school to work. The theoretical bases of the study are Social Cognitive Career Theory, Capability Approach, and Schlossberg's transition theory. Following the theoretical sampling method, 5 participants were selected purposively as a sample for the study. Two males and three females were chosen by applying the purposive sampling method. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted and categorized themes into three categories; social and economic situation, the importance of support in a transition period, and uneven transition of Pahari youth. The study found that Pahari youths are struggling to pursue higher education due to financial problems, family issue, social pressure and the like. Because of this, transitioning Pahari youths from education to work is very challenging. They cannot complete their education, which limits the skills related to the professional sector. As a result, getting engaged, even in a small part-time job with few wages, has become essential to sustain their lives and their families. Despite this, Pahari youths are found aware of these challenges and trying to overcome the situation. This study suggests the government prioritize the Pahari community for education, which could benefit Pahari youths to get the higher qualification and find better employment opportunities in the long term.

“…We have attempted to tease out the heterogeneity in life-course patterns, individual and institutional correlates, and later consequences of prolonged NEET statuses. In doing so, we have added to a new literature tackling longitudinal descriptions of individual life trajectories and pathways through NEET statuses (Gutiérrez-García et al, 2018;Contini et al, 2019;Giret et al, 2020) but from a novel comparative perspective. Indeed, our life-course perspective enabled us to consider how NEET patterns are both shaped by earlier life experiences and are themselves defining characteristics that influence later income and occupational statuses.…”

This book studies young people who are Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET); a prime concern among policymakers. Moving past common interpretations of NEETs as a homogeneous group, it asks why some youth become NEET, whereas others do not. The authors analyse diverse school-to-work patterns of young NEETs in five typical countries and investigate the role of individual characteristics, countries' institutions and policies, and their complex interplay.Readers will come to understand youth marginalization as a process that may occur during the transition from school, vocational college, or university to work. By studying longitudinal analyses of processes and transitions, readers will gain the crucial insight that NEETs are not equally vulnerable, and that most NEETs will find their way back to the labour market. However, they will also see that in all countries, a group of long-term NEETs exists. These exceptionally vulnerable young people are sidelined from society and the labour market. The country cases and cross-national studies illustrate that policies intended to help long-term NEETs to find their way in society are very limited.The book provides useful theoretical and empirical insights for scholars interested in the school-to-work transition and marginalized youth. It also provides helpful insights in vulnerability to policymakers who aim to combat youth marginalization.

“…The acronym NEET is used in the EU to define groups of young people between 15 and 34 years old who are not working in society, being considered a serious economic and social problem for the 27 Member States (Giret, Guégnard, & Joseph, 2020;Jongbloed & Giret, 2021). SocialNEET training seeks, through the provision of education for entrepreneurship, to contribute to the reduction of social disparities through the creation of self-employment, promoting the breaking of the first job paradigm and, therefore, fighting stereotypes linked to NEET terminology.…”

The SocialNEET project, promoted at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, between November 2020 and February 2021, whose main goal is the (re)integration in the labour market of young people, through the creation of innovative social business solutions and finding employment in companies or associations in the social sector. It provides learning for active life and education for entrepreneurship, through the participation of facilitators (students of higher education) who will simplify the connection between mentors (successful entrepreneurs and consultants) and young NEET (not in education, employment or training), in the sense of creating life projects, social projects or innovative social business and job search solutions in companies or associations in the social sector. The essential focus of this article corresponds on the training of facilitators (N=10) and its objective is to understand the capacities developed by them in this process, as well as the limitations felt and the strategies to minimize them. For this purpose, a qualitative case study was carried out based on the documentary analysis of the training, namely an observation grid, a questionnaire to the trainees and the reflective analysis of the trainers. We conclude that the strengthening of soft skills, intercultural communication and education for entrepreneurship may be the priority ways to promote social improvements and thus contribute to the 2030 Agenda.
