Project learning for young adults (PLYA) is a preventive education programme for young adults aged from 15 to 25 years who failed in school, have no vocation, and are unemployed.
The programme's basic aim is to help these young people to rejoin their peers, develop working and learning habits, and motivate them for learning. While attending the programme, participants learn how to co-operate and support each other, they overcome learning difficulties and articulate explicit vocational aspirations and goals.
The project work method is being used in PLYA, i.e. qualified mentors help participants to carry out projects, seek for jobs, study, and continue their education. Anybody can become PLYA mentor provided that one has attained a university degree, completed the PLYA training programme at SIAE, and enjoys working with young adults.

At the time being, PLYA projects are active in eight Slovenian cities (Ajdovščina, Celje, Koper, Ljubljana, Maribor, Murska Sobota, Radovljica, Slovenj Gradec) but it is expected that they will gradually be introduced to all larger cities in the country.
The programme has been granted financial support by the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport, the National Employment Agency, and by the above mentioned local municipalities.
