ESF Plus project “Measures for inclusive employment” Nr. 4.3.3.2/1/24/I/002
The State Employment Agency (hereinafter – SEA), in cooperation with natural and legal persons, organises the creation of subsidised jobs for unemployed persons of the target group on the basis of the principle of equal rights.
Purpose of the measure:
The purpose of the active employment measure “Measures for Disadvantaged Groups of People” (hereinafter – Measure) is to employ disadvantaged unemployed people in state-funded jobs to help them understand the requirements of the labour market, to facilitate their integration into society and their placement in a permanent job. The measure is implemented under the ESF+ project “Measures for Inclusive Employment”.
The SEA will involve customers who have been granted the status of an unemployed person and have not been able to find a job with the support of the SEA or independently, and who meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Persons with disabilities;
- Persons aged 55 and over, who have more than 2 years left until their old-age pension;
- Persons who have been unemployed for at least 12 months;
- Persons with refugee or alternative status;
- Persons who have not more than two years remaining before their old-age pension;
- Persons aged up to 29 years (inclusive) who have completed a special education programme;
- Persons aged up to 29 years (inclusive) who have been released from a custodial institution or are probationers.
Customers involved in the measure are employed for 6 or 12 months.
- For each customer, the employer provides a qualified supervisor who helps the customer to acquire the basic skills and competences needed for the job. For customers with a functional type of disability such as mental disorder, a job supervisor is provided for six months from the date of the customer’s participation in the measure.
- Customers with mental disabilities have the possibility to receive support to, for example, integrate into the workplace (participation in discussions with the employer, support in learning and performing the tasks specified by the supervisor, communication and interaction with the employer, supervisor and colleagues, psychological and motivational support), comply with the rules of the workplace and work duties. The support person provides the service to customers with mental disabilities for 12 months.
- The SEA compensates the customers for the costs of health check-ups provided for in the laws and regulations on the procedure for compulsory health check-ups, if they are carried out before the start of employment relationship, but not more than EUR 50. The reimbursement must be requested within 10 working days after the health check-up by submitting an application to the Branch.
