“Empowering Lives – Labour Market Inclusion” (EL-LMI)

The project provides each individual in the target group with an individual integration plan and personalized coaching. It offers support services to remove barriers to job integration, including referrals to social services for participants and their families, addressing other referral needs within the system, and financing access to learning activities. Additionally, the project fosters self-assessment and motivational skills for learning and career development while enhancing the skills necessary for labor market integration. It also assists in job preparation and serves as an intermediary for employment opportunities. Furthermore, the project establishes a cooperative referral system with partner institutions, implementing an integrated approach through coordination meetings with key actors and reflective sessions to improve the system.
