Widened recruitment Malmö city

Skills supply is a crucial issue for the welfare of the future. There are major recruitment challenges in several areas, while several able-bodied individuals are outside the labour market. The matching problem has consequences both at the individual and organizational level. In order to meet the increased need, there is a need to broaden the recruitment base to all people who are available in the workforce regardless of gender, disability, ethnicity or other experience and background. Today, the City of Malmö has a large group of individuals in labour market employment. Many of these lack longer work experience in relevant professional fields and many lack higher education. Some have low language skills, some suffer from mental and physical illness and others have a long period of unemployment behind them. However, they all have a work ability and a willingness to work. The problem is that they don't live up to the city's requirements to be hired. By increasing the skills of the labour market employees, the possibility of employment increases. At the same time, it is important to increase supervisor competence in order to be able to meet the target group in a way that enables them to develop in the best possible way in the professional field in the workplace in question. The project will focus on individual skills development in order to strengthen the individual's position on the labour market based on the needs of the business and contribute to attitudes and skills for employers regarding recruitment patterns and views of potential employees to enable everyone to participate in working life. In order to solve the skills supply, all workers must have the opportunity to enter the labour market. Labour market employees will be offered skills-enhancing measures at the same time as the supervisors' knowledge of the target group and of mentorship increases so that they can more effectively support the labour market employees in their vocational skills development. The target group is supervisors and labour market employees. They will be offered different types of activities based on the specific target group's needs. Trainees will also be offered skills-enhancing measures. The tutor training will be built around specific modules based on the respective management needs. Experience shows that it is difficult to develop a method that is suitable for everyone. The most important thing is that the supervisor training feels relevant based on the challenges the administration has and that the respective supervisors experience it as rewarding. Skills-enhancing measures for labour market interventions will be based on the workplace where the labour market employee is located. 50 labour market employees will be offered SRY training to increase the opportunity for employment in cleaning. As many participants are language and study weak, a special educator with the right to examine in SRY will be employed in the project. They can then follow the participants from start to finish.
