The aim of the project is to carry out activities aimed at improving access to employment (professional activation) for 1 111 unemployed persons (580 K and 531 M), including: • aged 18-29 - 386 people (203 K and 183 M), • over 30 - 725 people (377 K and 348 M), within the meaning of the Act on employment promotion and labour market institutions, in particular: the most vulnerable in the labour market, i.e.: women, people aged 50 and over, people with disabilities, the long-term unemployed, the low-skilled; - people with disabilities - 12 people - 5 K and 7 M, - women 580 K, - people aged 50 years and more 40 people - 20 K and 20 M, - long-term unemployed 80 people - 40 K and 40 M, - low-skilled 100 people - 49 K and 51 M. b) young people aged 18-29, especially: from the NEET group. Each time a project participant is supported, their needs (training or validation) will be identified by developing or updating an Individual Action Plan. The support provided will be tailored to the individual needs of project participants, based on their knowledge, skills and competences and qualifications for the profession. Each participant in the project will receive an offer of support, including forms of assistance that will be identified as necessary in order to improve the situation on the labour market or obtain employment. The support provided will be in line with the needs of the local/regional labour market. Implementation of project activities will provide participants with the opportunity to acquire skills/competences or qualifications, in particular: • digital, • necessary to work in the green economy, • relevant for regional/local specialisations, • related to health and care services. Support for 18-29 year-olds will be preceded by a digital skills assessment (using the ‘European Digital Competence Assessment Tool’ (https://europa.eu/europass/digitalskills/screen/questionnaire/generic ) or another tool recommended and made available by the minister responsible for labour, who is responsible for supervising the implementation of the Youth Guarantee in Poland) and, if necessary, complementing the level of competence. On this basis, the Office will implement appropriately selected services and labour market instruments referred to in the Act on employment promotion and labour market institutions. The Authority will provide each project participant aged 18-29 with an offer of employment, further education, internship or other form of assistance that will lead to professional activation within 4 months from the date of the person's accession to the project. The project participants will receive support through the implementation of the following labour market measures: - job placement and/or vocational guidance, - internships, - one-off funds for starting a business, - reimbursement of costs of equipping or retrofitting a workplace, - training, - intervention work, - settlement vouchers. The project’s support to the long-term unemployed will be implemented and monitored in line with the recommendations of the European Court of Auditors in its Special Report 25/2021 ‘ESF support to combat long-term unemployment: actions need to be better targeted, monitored and tailored’. The Office will provide the long-term unemployed with an in-depth individual assessment (taking into account employability, barriers to employment, available support) and advice, carry out intensified and individually planned activities for each of them, which will be targeted, tailored to their needs and monitored on an ongoing basis.
