About the project

PROUD answers to recent societal (emerging adulthood), technological (digital work/home office), and global (pandemic – structural changes at work) challenges affecting the job market. Offers a complex mentorship program for young adults (Gen Z/Y), promoting their wellbeing and professional skills, adapted to Moodle & digital use.

Importance of the project

Young adults in their 20s, early 30s, deal with new expectations and problems compared to the older generations. Some of these patterns (high-performance stress, interiorized societal expectations, constant comparison on social media), combined with the changes and new work conditions that the digital transformation brought, expose them to higher stress, and make them more vulnerable to depression and burnout. The Covid-19 pandemic and the recent geopolitical conflict have just deepened this tendency.

PROUD project answers to these challenges and present/future needs of the young working population, enabling them to find satisfaction in their job.  PROUD´s complex approach provides mentors with new methods, tools, training materials and a holistic insight about the current societal influences on young adults´ behavior and job-market decisions; and introduces new approaches into work-mentoring, e.g. supervision, mindfulness, job-crafting, restorative practice, game-based training, positive psychology.

The project aims to turn this vulnerability into opportunity for growth, by enhancing resilience skills.
