Programme: Human Resources Development

The project proposal foresees, through outreach work and desk research, to identify, locate and reach 36 representatives of the target groups in vulnerable positions: unemployed over 55, unemployed persons with primary education or less and no vocational qualification; long-term unemployed; unemployed young people under 29; persons with over 50% disability; minorities, including marginalized communities such as Roma, persons from the most vulnerable groups supported by the Food and/or Material Assistance Programme. 

10 case managers will be hired. They will work individually with every person - identifying the individual needs of the beneficiaries covered by the project, prepare profiles, prescribe measures for personal development, and create action plans for active inclusion. All the information from the work performed with the target group will be stored in personal dossiers, in order to track the processes towards labour market integration. 
A manager of the whole team will provide job search support and methodological assistance for the inclusion in employment of the target group, but will also work with employers to change negative stereotypes about people from disadvantaged backgrounds. During the project implementation, a psychologist will provide support to the persons from the target groups, as well as consult the experts from the project team.
Soft skills training will be organised and delivered with stipends for the trainees for the training days.
A workshop with the participation of about 20 employers is foreseen, as well as a job fair to meet employers and target group persons.
It is expected that during the project or after its completion at least 10 persons will start to actively search for a job and at least 4 persons from the target groups will engage in employment. 
The duration of the project is 14 months, with an expected start - November 2025.
