European Commission Topic

The path to lasting jobs through skills pledge

The aim of the project is to increase the number of adult unskilled adults who obtain skilled training in North Jutland within industry and private and public services. The effect of the project is that 600 unskilled people will be raised to a skilled level, of which 225 participants will have completed vocational training, while 375 will be in the process of completing vocational training by the end of the project. The skills pledge must be closely linked to the demand for skilled labour and ensure that the participants achieve lasting jobs and thereby contribute to increased employment, value creation and productivity in North Jutland companies.The project will optimise and streamline workflows, increase knowledge, coordinate efforts and develop experience with solid cooperation structures between employment, vocational and training areas that can continue beyond the project period. In the long term, this cooperation will pave the way for increasing the number of unskilled adults who start and complete vocational training on an annual basis. There are two recruitment routes for the project: one for unskilled unemployed persons and one for unskilled employeesEmployees are sought out according to the potential for educational uplift and searched for clarification in the mobile adult guidance unit. A special offer is being developed, pre-phase courses, which ensure focused adult guidance for the RKV and an individually organised training plan (EUV). The training courses for the unemployed will be financed by the job centres. Action for employees: for those employed, the way to the EUV is via enterprises. There will therefore be a massive effort to build cross-cutting, coordinated business cooperation between the employment, training and business sectors. Cross-cutting teams must ensure information and guidance to companies about the potential for training of unskilled employees. For the employees, an RKV will also be compulsory for the organisation of an individual training plan which can be carried out in interaction with jobs in the company in question.
