Résumé
This paper addresses the strengths, needs and future challenges posed by the current
training and education of youths at risk of social exclusion, focusing on those youths who
are at risk of dropping out of school and have problems accessing the labour market. Its
objectives are: to characterize, from a professional perspective, the education and training
needs of young people who find themselves in situations of exclusion; identify strengths
in current education and training activities available to young people, and; establish a
resource bank for possible future challenges raised by professionals in this field to improve
the current situation. For this, we conducted an exploratory pilot research study that
involved 34 experienced professional experts that was focused on describing the current
situation in Spain in the field of education and training of youths at risk of dropping out of school or exclusion. This study concludes that the creation and consolidation of
coordinated networks between the public administration, the private sector and social
entities is a challenge that must be addressed within this field. Likewise, developing sustainable
and inclusive training activities for young people involves creating more flexible,
individualized and personalized training itineraries that address not only basic training
but also transversal competences.
