Abstract

The rise of young people not in employment, education, or training (NEET) is a major concern in Europe, particularly in disadvantaged areas. Entrepreneurship education is seen as a strategy to enhance inclusion and employability, though it remains underexplored outside formal schooling. This study examines La Paranza cooperative in Naples and identifies key drivers, including experiential learning, place-based approaches, mentorship, active participation, and stakeholder networks. These factors foster skills, self-esteem, and local identity, supporting pathways into employment. The findings show that entrepreneurship education can develop beyond schools, contributing to inclusive policies that address youth marginalization and reduce NEET conditions.
