The parallel labour market policy project acquires the wage subsidy and labour market training needed by the target group of the Kaiku development project. The Kaiku project improves the working and functional capacity of the target group of the project and supports their participation through, for example, rehabilitation and employment services in organisations and by developing them. The aim of the project is to improve the working and functional capacity and employability of the participants in the project’s activities by means of work coaching. In addition, the project, in cooperation with the City of Joensuu and non-governmental organisations, will develop an operating model for the construction of tailor-made rehabilitation, training and employment pathways for those in a weak position on the labour market. For example, periods of rehabilitative work and paid-backed work can be combined with individualised sub-qualifications as labour market training or self-training. Assignments can also be studied. Immigrants’ professional skills will be made visible and their knowledge of Finnish working life and culture and knowledge of Finnish language skills will be increased through language training. For example, those who have a residence permit try to work in the open labour market and receive information about working as an entrepreneur on the labour market. In addition to employment actors, the project targets long-term unemployed persons aged 30-54 who need support to advance on the employment path, as well as asylum seekers available to the labour market and migrants admitted to the residence.
