Veliko mladih se danes sooča s pomanjkanjem delovnih izkušenj in posledično s težavami zaradi tega pri iskanju zaposlitve. Ena od možnosti za pridobivanje kompetenc in izkušenj je tudi opravljanje prostovoljstva. Težava se pojavi, ker kompetence, pridobljene s prostovoljstvom, niso priznane v enaki meri kot kompetence, pridobljene v delovnem razmerju. V raziskavah so prišli do rezultatov, da je prostovoljstvo sicer dobra iztočnica za mlade in predstavlja enega od korakov na poti k zaposlitvi. Cilj diplomskega dela je pokazati, da opravljanje prostovoljstva posamezniku prinaša pomembne kompetence, ki izboljšujejo zaposlitvene možnosti. Z metodo anketiranja in primerjalno analizo sem ugotovila, da prostovoljci pridobijo tiste kompetence, ki jih delodajalci iščejo in cenijo pri svojih zaposlenih. Prostovoljci so namreč navedli, da v največji meri pridobijo timsko naravnanost in organizacijske sposobnosti, hkrati pa sta to kompetenci, ki jih delodajalci pogosto pogrešajo pri kandidatih za zaposlitev. Rezultati ankete prikazujejo, da je 47 % anketirancem opravljanje prostovoljstva pomagalo na poti do zaposlitve. Ugotovitve iz predhodno opravljene raziskave pa so pokazale, da delodajalci vedno bolj cenijo neformalno pridobljene kompetence. Od enajstih delodajalcev se petim tovrstne kompetence zdijo pomembne, pet delodajalcev pa bi jih pod določenimi pogoji upoštevalo pri zaposlitvi. Ustrezna in natančna opredelitev pridobljenih kompetenc lahko prostovoljcem pomaga pri pridobivanju zanimanja delodajalcev – in tako prednost pri zaposlitvi. Tako lahko tudi tisti mladi, ki še niso imeli priložnosti pridobiti kompetenc v delovnem razmerju, z opravljanjem prostovoljstva izboljšajo svoje zaposlitvene možnosti. Many young people nowadays are confronting with unemployment because of unmet conditions for job application. One of the options for acquiring competences and experiences is also the pursuit of volunteering. The problem is that competences acquired through volunteering are not recognized to the same extent as competences acquired in an employment relationship. In researches they came to conclusion that volunteering is a good starting point for youth and it represents one of the steps on the way to employment. The goal of the thesis is to indicate that volunteering can improve volunteer’s competences, which can increase employment options. Using the survey method and comparative analysis I have found out that volunteers gain competences which are also appreciated by employers. Volunteers stated that they mostly gain team orientation and organizational skills. Those are the same competences that employers most often expect from job candidates. The results from the survey show that volunteering helped 47 % of respondents in the path to employment. However, the findings from the previous study show that employers more and more appreciate competences gained through non-formal education. Five of eleven employers think that these competences are very important, and five of eleven employers would take into account these competences under certain conditions while recruiting. With appropriate and precise description of competences gained by volunteering volunteers can get an advantage over other candidates and gain employers’ interest. In this way a young individual who was not able to gain competences in employment relationship can improve their employment opportunities by pursuing volunteering. |
