Project Overview
Project Description
The project offers low-threshold counseling and training for Roma who are far removed from the labor market. The aim is to reduce barriers to employment, strengthen self-esteem, activate problem-solving skills, improve basic education and thus pave the way from unemployment to the labor market.
Funding Sources
Federal Ministry of Labor and Economy in connection with the special guideline “Roma Empowerment for the Labor Market 2022-2030” in cooperation with the Austrian Public Employment Service (AMS) Burgenland.
Impact And Acchievements
- In addition to personality coaching and job application training for the 70 participants, applications were also actively sent out during the courses. Excursions to various institutions offering vocational qualifications were also undertaken and experts invited from training institutes came to their courses and informed the participants about the possible options.
- Success: 19 working contracts – these are long-term employment contracts in the primary labor market and 5 apprenticeships/qualifications: 2 apprenticeships, 3 professional qualifications
Additional notes
A follow-up project “O DROM ANDI CUKUNFT – The path to the future” was launched on January 1, 2025, that aims to build on the success of its predecessor by focusing on similar topics.
