The purpose of the operation is to provide employed persons whose employment or self-employment is at risk, temporary or precarious, with appropriate competences to facilitate the transition to the labour market and prevent the transition to open unemployment. Indirectly, the operation is also intended to help employers to acquire suitably qualified employees. The target group will be included in retention programmes. These are targeted programmes that cover different forms of information, motivation, career guidance, training or education and will be adapted to the needs of the labour market. These will include knowledge to strengthen digital competences, knowledge for the green transition and the circular economy, and knowledge for social development in general. This will facilitate the transition to new jobs or jobs and prevent them from moving into unemployment.
