Project Summary

The project is situated in a socio-labor context characterized by the presence of adult groups with low professional qualifications and few skills to successfully tackle the job search, especially in an increasingly digital environment.

Our main objective is to improve the training of professionals and the ICT tools at their disposal, aimed at increasing the job opportunities of the unemployed in that environment through online resources.

To achieve this goal, mechanisms must be put in place that provide to the unemployed with fewer opportunities, skills and procedures that improve their baggage and digital skills.

We intend to access adults at risk of exclusion (long-term unemployed, migrants, over 45s, women with family responsibilities and earners of minimum incomes) through training and mentoring online provided by expert counselors. The methodology will be based on personalized itineraries that integrate mixed training modules (face-to-face and online), individual and self-help group support, and personalized tutorial follow-up.

We intend to obtain practical results in terms of the number of indirect beneficiaries (200) and the number of job offers (reaching at least a third of them), and in aspects such as: increasing the use of TIC platforms and applications linked to search of work; guarantee the participation of social agents (NGOs, social services and entities that intervene with adults); launch best practice workshops and seminars; and improve the services provided by career guidance professionals.
We aspire to generate a real impact in our environment, both in quantitative terms (people served and cooperation movements created), and in the development of methodologies that can be transferred to other territories (multiplier effect). In long term, we hope to obtain concrete benefits, such as the labor insertion of people in situations of social disadvantage and the introduction of a “modus operandi” that, through digital assistance to the unemployed, removes barriers and facilitates social inclusion.
