The overall objective is to decrease the number of (at-risk) NEETs by improving their employability through a co-created entrepreneurship programme that enhances entrepreneurial skills. We will create entrepreneur hubs both in secondary schools with a high number of at-risk NEET students and in local communities with a high number of hard to reach NEETs. From within these hubs, young people develop and create pop-ups that answer to the specific needs of the deprived communities in which they live or go to school. We intend to increase their entrepreneurial skills, as well as their selfrespect and motivation. By means of this innovative co-created service, we intend to engage 800 at-risk NEETs leading to a 25% increase of these at-risk NEETs staying in education or becoming (self-)employment, and 800 NEETs, leading to a 25% increase of these NEETs (re)turning to education, training or (self-)employment.This will reduce costs for schools, welfare organisations and employment services.

• Entrepeneur hub pilots in which at-risk NEET young people (+15 years old) create pop-ups from within secondary school together with local stakeholders
• Pilots of entrepreneur hubs in which NEET young people (15-24 years) create community-oriented pop-ups together with local stakeholders
• A feasibility study on the continuation of the SPEED-You-UP approach including a clear business plan for future users.
• Pilot of a training programme for new cities/regions that will implement the SPEED-You-UP entrepreneur hubs.

Some good practices focusing on the re-integration of NEET’s do exist, but there are currently few possibilities to develop a common strategy for coping with (at-risk) NEET young. To attain this, we need the combined expertise of all participating partners, with the Dutch partners having experience in setting up sustainable businesses in secondary education, the
French being experienced in coaching NEET young people, the Belgian partners being strong in outreach work and community-oriented schools and the UK partners having a track record with regard to serious gaming and entrepreneurship education. In order to succeed our project, we need to combine and translate the methods into in a large scale common methodology for prevention of NEET’s. Only then we can aim for an ambitious approach that will change the way education and employment support for NEET young people is organised.
