Workshop

The aim of the project is to support and improve the working and functional capacity of the inactive by strengthening the self-esteem and self-confidence of individuals, as well as social inclusion and the ability to work. The aim is to find a job tailored to the labour market, where the individual can contribute his/her own work, with his or her own skills. The aim is therefore to support the return to work or access to employment for project customers. The aim is to develop new forms of environments and services to support the employment of inactive people, thereby promoting inclusion and preventing exclusion. The aim is to develop new forms of action to enable non-workers to participate in work more flexibly with their own work. The project has five objectives:1.

Aiming at social criteria in public procurement — training of the workforce for experimentation.5. Development of new forms of work coaching. The goal is that the clients and employees of the project work together and that the employees teach the work to the clients.
