On 7 April 2025, an Information Day on the Tour4Youth project, supported by the Central Baltic Programme, took place at the Kuldiga Technology and Tourism Technical School. During the event, participants were introduced to the project’s objectives and the opportunities it offers to promote youth employment in the tourism, hospitality, and catering sectors.
The event welcomed more than 40 young participants, several of whom expressed a desire to actively engage in the project by using its training and internship opportunities. Attendees had the chance to:
- learn about the project and explore the online training course developed within the project, which is available to a broad audience regardless of age or prior experience;
- find out about internship placements and opportunities for professional development;
- receive practical career planning advice.
If you are interested in joining the project, please note that it is open to young people aged 15 to 24 (inclusive) who:
- are officially registered outside the capital city;
- are currently studying or planning to study in the fields of tourism, hospitality, or catering;

More about the “Tour4Youth” project
The Tour4Youth project is being implemented to promote youth employment in the tourism, hospitality, and catering sectors in rural areas of the Central Baltic Sea region. These sectors play a significant role in integrating young people into the labour market, helping them build relevant skills and pursue long-term careers. The project offers opportunities for young people to grow professionally in their chosen field, thus reducing the need to seek employment abroad or in unrelated sectors. Tour4Youth also enhances youth competitiveness by offering targeted labour market services and practical experience.
