The ESF objective is to support promising local labour market initiatives. Within the Opportunities for West II programme, the combined use of ERDF and ESF grants boosts employment. It is about boosting employment by, for example, creating business space for business (through ERDF, the Space and Economy Fund The Hague) in combination with initiatives that create additional jobs for jobseekers. ESF can make a contribution in the form of an employer cheque or in finding and assisting new employees from the target group of the municipality of The Hague.
