ESF-Works

Facilitating access

Definition: To combat discrimination faced by individuals and promote equality in the workplace and to test support mechanisms to help target groups integrate/re-integrate into the labour market

Theme A partnerships were about employability and access to work and have tackled issues ranging from career choice to creation of services supporting access to self-employment. Most partnerships focused strongly on the needs of specific target groups, including people with handicaps, the long-term unemployed, people with caring responsibilities, ex-offenders and women returning to work. Products cover the widest possible range, including manuals and handbooks of training material for beneficiaries of all types, for careers advisers and trainers, video and CD material, including some created by beneficiaries themselves, and digital tools to measure and track progress with ‘soft skills’.
