The Western Pomeranian Network of Social Economic Support Centres – Social Economics Support Centre for the Szczecin region is a comprehensive project (animation, integration, training, advice, services, promotion, financial support, etc.) support for social economy entities (planned to support a minimum of 60 PES/PS) and local communities and individuals (scheduled to support 500 people) interested in launching the SEE. The main objective of the OWES is to contribute to the development of the social economy sector and its importance in the economy by increasing profits, increasing employment and specialising in the sector. In terms of employment growth, a wide range of measures against people at risk of social exclusion appear to be crucial. The project aims to increase the importance of the social economy sector in the economy by increasing employment levels in social enterprises and developing the social economy sector in the region. The activities envisaged in the project are addressed to: individuals and entities aimed at establishing a social enterprise and social enterprises, including social cooperatives. The project will create 60 permanent jobs that will be created by allocating funds to create new jobs in the social economy sector, which is linked to development, but also to the creation of new social enterprises. New jobs will be supported, for a stable strengthening of business competences of the recipients of activities, over the next 12 months by providing bridging support in financial form and as part of individualised advice and specialised training for PES managers to increase the business efficiency of PS and PES and to increase the availability of the labour market for excluded people.
