Supporting older unemployed

The project “Supporting older unemployed people” will be implemented together with 10 partners — territorial labour exchanges. During the project, activities will be implemented for the acquisition of qualifications, skills development and integration into the labour market of unemployed people over 54 years of age, which will seek the following physical indicators: 1. It is estimated that 6.200 unemployed over 54 years old registered at the territorial labour markets will be included in vocational training and non-formal education. 2. It is estimated that 7.680 unemployed over 54 years of age registered at the territorial labour offices will be included in the recruitment with a subsidy. 3..It is expected that 120 unemployed persons over 54 years of age registered at the territorial labour markets will be included in supporting the territorial mobility of the unemployed. The project “Supporting older unemployed” will seek the following output indicator: 1. Unemployed persons over 54 years of age who have participated in ESF activities: 14.000. The project “Supporting the older unemployed” will seek the following result indicators: 1.Employees over 54 years of age who have obtained a qualification at the end of their participation in ESF activities- 42 % or 5.880. 2.The unemployed under 54 years of age who entered employment, including self-employment, after leaving the ESF, are 35 % or 4.900. Unemployed persons over 54 years of age will be able to acquire or/and develop qualifications and/or competences during vocational training and non-formal education if this is necessary for job vacancies or self-employment. Participants in the project, who are recruited on the basis of a subsidy, will be able to establish themselves in the labour market or take up employment. Supporting the territorial mobility of the unemployed will encourage unemployed people to take up jobs away from their place of residence, where the territorial labour office is unable to offer the unemployed a decent job. The project “Supporting older unemployed people” prepared by the Lithuanian Labour Exchange will contribute to the matching of labour market demand and supply, and will accelerate the position of unemployed older people in the labour market.
