The article presents the first officially valid program of informal education in Slovenia, Project Learning for Younger Adults (PUM). It has been designed for young people between 15 and 25 who have left school without having finished their vocational or professional trainings; they also Jack experience, so they have more difficulties looking for a job. This is the third year of the program taking place in the existing form. In the last three years it has fully justified its existence: young participants use to finish it successfully. The evaluation of the program in the study year 1999/2000 showed that the program serves its purpose since as much as 57.6 percent of participants have reached the fundamental goal of the program - being prepared for further education. For the population attending PUM this is an extraordinary success.Članek predstavlja prvi javno veljaven program neformalnega izobraževanja v Sloveniji, Projektno učenje za mlajše 105 odrasle (PUM). Namenjen je mlajšim odraslim med 15. in 25. letom, ki so opustili šolanje in nimajo končane poklicne ali strokovne izobrazbe, zaradi svoje neizkušenosti pa spadajo tudi med teže zaposljive. V letošnjem letu poteka program tretje leto, odkar se je začel izvajati v tej obliki. V tem času se je njegovo izvajanje pokazalo za zelo upravičeno, saj ga mladi, ki ga obiskujejo, uspešno končajo. Evalvacija programa v šolskem letu 1999/2000 je pokazala, da program služi svojemu namenu, saj je kar 57,6 odstotka udeležencev doseglo temeljni cilj programa - pripravo na nadaljevanje izobraževanja. Za populacijo, ki obiskuje program PUM, je to izjemen uspeh
