This project includes the prevention of long-term unemployment in the key areas of Northern Ostrobothnia (S20284) labour market policy measures (funds for wage support, labour market training and coaching).Extract of the development project tiivistelmästä:Tässä in the project key sectors refer to the ICT sector, construction and metalworking industry. The aim is to promote employment opportunities for long-term unemployed in key sectors. The project aims to raise and update the skills of the long-term unemployed and the regional and occupational mobility of the workforce. The aim is to contribute to the availability of skilled workforce for major projects planned in Northern Finland (Pyhäjoki nuclear power plant, mining projects and other major investment projects) and to prevent the prolongation of unemployment in the ICT sector. The demand for labour created by major projects is used to break long-term unemployment. The long-term unemployed have a large number of higher education ICT professionals under the age of 50, whose employment in the ICT sector or in other sectors of the labour market policy has been tailored labour market training, conversion training, development training (Skeko) and self-employed training. Long-term unemployment in the construction and metal industry is clearly over 50-year-old unemployment, which has changed from cyclical unemployment to structural unemployment. The most appropriate measures for labour market policy are tailor-made individual trainings and combinations of paid supported work. An important measure of the project is surveys and mappings of the skills needs of the long-term unemployed, the labour needs of enterprises in key sectors, the labour needs of large-scale subcontracting companies and the facilitation of pedigree. The results of the project are generated through the effectiveness of the employment services implemented as employment. The skills of the long-term unemployed are utilised in enterprises both in the skills-based enterprise growth and in the implementation of major projects as part of securing the availability of labour. The reduction in long-term unemployment prevents poverty and marginalisation and eases the situation of municipalities. The project promotes occupational and regional mobility and, over a longer period, the development of public transport.The parallel project is operational from 18 August 2015 to 30 November 2019. However, the measures (wage subsidy periods and employment training and coaching service contracts) must be terminated at the end of the development project, that is to say by 31 July 2019.
