Opportunity Group Manual

The opportunity group approach is a participatory process that guides through different steps of self-assessment and skills development towards job orientation and entrepreneurial initiatives. The approach is based on the LearnNet approach (Edda Grunwald, 2004), which simply builds on the understanding that the owners of the problem are also the owners of the solution. In this way youth are able to strengthen each other’s potential, and jointly learn and apply new technical, entrepreneurial and life skills. Locally available training providers impart the training content based on the background of the group members, taking into account context and locally available market opportunities. The manual is composed of three parts. First, the introductory section gives an overview on youth in the Republic of Kosovo, embeds the approach and explains why we developed this manual. Second follows the core of this manual, a description of the opportunity group approach, by explaining the different steps of the approach. The different steps are practically accompanied with boxes illustrating an opportunity group in the hairdressing trade in Dragash. Third, the key features of the approach are depicted.
