The research applies a mixed-method approach (quantitative and qualitative data analysis) . The purpose of the paper is to identify the most/leastefficient non-formal and informal learning methods, forms, and initiatives to promote youth entrepreneurship and employability in Latvia as well as to show the relationship between the profile of young adults and their opinion on these methods, forms, and initiatives. The findings show that the young adults stressed the importance of cooperation with employers in organising educational activities, field trips as well asthe necessity of having internships, projects, and meetings with entrepreneurs to learn from their experience. The most efficient non-formal and informal learning methods, forms, and initiatives to promote youth entrepreneurship and employability in Latvia are as follows: internship in a company or institution, projects, other persons’ experience and success stories, and training enterprises. The least efficient ones are mentoring, business incubators, coaching, individual work/action plan for the young people, business clubs, and business start-up funds/grants. The opinion of young adults on all aspects of non-formal and informal learning methods, forms, and initiatives depends on their profile (gender, education level, employment status, learning experience, etc.) .  \nKeywords: employability, informal learning, Latvia, non-formal learning, youth entrepreneurship, youth unemployment  \n1 University of Latvia, Latvia.  \n2 Turība University, Latvia.  \n3 *Corresponding Author.

Raziskava uporablja pristop mešanih metod (kvantitativna in kvalitativna analiza podatkov) . Namen članka je opredeliti najučinkovitejše/najmanjučinkovite metode, oblike in pobude za neformalno in priložnostnoučenje z namenom spodbujanja podjetništva in zaposljivosti mladih v Latviji ter prikazati odnos med profilom mladih odraslih in njihovimmnenjem o teh metodah, oblikah in o pobudah. Ugotovitve kažejo, da so mladi poudarili pomembnost sodelovanja z delodajalci pri organizaciji izobraževalnih dejavnosti, ekskurzije ter potrebo po pripravništvu, projektih in po srečanjih s podjetniki z namenom učenja iz njihovihizkušenj. Najučinkovitejše neformalne in priložnostne učne metode, oblike in pobude za spodbujanje podjetništva in zaposljivosti mladih v Latviji so: pripravništvo v podjetju ali ustanovi, projekti, izkušnje drugihin uspešne zgodbe ter usposabljanje podjetij. Najmanj učinkoviti so: mentorstvo, poslovni inkubatorji, »coaching«, individualno delo/akcijski načrt za mlade, poslovni klubi in zagonski kapital/sredstva za ustanovitev podjetja. Mnenje mladih o vseh vidikih, oblikah in o pobudahneformalnega in priložnostnega učenja je odvisno od njihovega profila (spol, stopnja izobrazbe, zaposlitveni status, učne izkušnje itn.) .  \nKljučne besede: zaposljivost, priložnostno učenje, Latvija, neformalnoučenje, podjetništvo mladih, brezposelnost mladih  \nIntroduction  \nThe twenty-first century has brought many challenges for people in all spheres and also impacted their employability, p","cbCaius2YNw2SvUb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaius2YNw2SvUb","pdf",204784,22,"English","# Introduction\n## Adult learning challenges and policy context\n## Adult education approaches and study scope\n## Key learning initiatives and effectiveness findings","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the paper?\",\"answer\":\"To identify the most and least efficient non-formal and informal learning methods, forms, and initiatives that promote youth entrepreneurship and employability in Latvia.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the study analyze the problem?\",\"answer\":\"It uses a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"Which non-formal and informal learning initiatives are reported as most effective?\",\"answer\":\"Internships in companies or institutions, projects, other persons’ experience and success stories, and training enterprises are presented as the most effective.\"}]","Promoting Youth Entrepreneurship and Employability through Non-Formal and Informal Learning - The Latvia Case | PDF",1792086394,55]
