How to become member of the Trainers’ Pool of the Directorate of Youth and Sport 

Admission criteria for DJS TP and proposal to invite new members
In accordance with the dynamics of the youth work sector, the Trainers’ Pool of the Directorate of Youth and Sport (DYS TP) should ensure continuous up-date and access to the best-prepared and most competent trainers in the youth field in Europe. At the same time, the DYS TP should enable trainers in the youth field, predominantly new competent young trainers to access the database and ultimately to be hired to run activities for the Directorate of Youth and Sport.
This requires very flexible admission criteria for the new members of the Trainers’ Pool. These criteria should allow new members to enter the Pool on a continuous basis while, maintaining the high quality standards in the DYS and minimum level of competences required for TP members.
