Abstract
This study examines the key competencies that young people at
risk of exclusion must develop to achieve integration into the
labour market, and assesses their level of integration after their
participation in the programme proposed. A programme for
developing Social Skills is undertaken for three weeks. A methodology is presented to that end, based on constructing three synthetic indicators which aggregate and measure the different
components proposed: Appearance, Confidence, Attitude, and
Organisation and Planning. These three models measure the
aspects before the programme and the aspects after the programme and the improvements are analysed. The results of the
study are based on a sample of 373 young people between 18
and 30 belonging to vulnerable groups. An analysis of the results
shows that the competencies that underwent the most significant
changes were Attitude and Organisation and Planning. Control
variables are applied (gender, age, experience and level of education). The results obtained in the model studying the aftermath of
the programme show that the competence of Confidence influences the student’s recruitment and incorporation into employment.
