· Gain a better understanding of the skills and competences that young carers develop as a result of their caring experience.
·  Gain an understanding of the applicability of those skills at workplace.
·  Practice learning with realistic case studies, establishing a sense of practical application to what has been learnt.
· Develop a positive thinking approach about young people focusing on their strengths.

The content of this online course has been independently certified as conforming to universally accepted Continuous Professional Development (CPD) guidelines.

The content of this online training course was built on the findings of in depth youth-led qualitative research with young carers and professionals in four European countries (UK, Sweden, Italy and Greece), conducted in the framework of the two-year Erasmus+ funded Care2Work project.
