Project Summary

The number of people with an occupational disability, who are working, is gradually increasing. The TENDER project anticipates for more opportunities for people with an occupational disability on the labour market. It offers a solution for the increasing shortages in various sectors (including education and care).
Intermediaries need better matching options on the basis of more specific parameters. Parameters that deal better with the potential and possibilities of people with an occupational disability. The project delivers:

• The workable parameters needed to achieve a match. In contrast to the already existing parameters such as hard & soft skills, experience and transversal skills, these parameters are mainly based on environmental flexibility (to what extent you can function in a specific environment);
• Have insight in the way how the question should be formulated, that leads to the employment of a job seeker with a work disability. Not all jobs are directly suitable for the job-seeker with an occupational disability. Sometimes part-time work is better or the requirements imposed on the competences and environmental flexibility are not appropriate.

The project has an impact on jobseekers with a work disability, companies and organizations with vacancies and. The project also has an impact on the system of matching supply and demand in the labour market as a whole and thus a mindset change. In addition, vacancies are filled by people who still have a distance to the labour market.

The TENDER project promotes the individual match between regular vacancies and job seekers with a disability via Intermediaries. The priorities are inclusion and professionalization for that specific target group. The project delivers:

1) A web application to make the target group visible with a person profile. Such a layout of the web application that intermediaries can match between a job profile and a person profile.
2) A method by which intermediaries support employers in drawing up a vacancy profile that matches the target group.
3) A feasability study concerning the continuation of the TENDER Matchings Web Applicatie after the project.

Based on 5 participating countries in which each country reaches 15 intermediaries with the masterclass program: we aim to ensure that each involved intermediary makes 5 successful matches through the use of the instruments. The aim is thus to get a total of 250 people at a distance from the labour market in the countries in question through the instruments.

The TENDER Web App is public and available for free to well-known mobile platforms such as iOS and Android. The tool is set up in such a way that functionality and content remain up-to-date for the coming years. The actual matching takes place by applying algorithms developed in the app. The App is filled with personal data in accordance with European privacy legislation. The manual, the App and the training courses are offered by the consortium to, among others, professional associations and public and private intermediaries in the field of reintegration.

We achieve impact by offering lectures and seminars. In combination with marketing activities, such as publishing articles on social media and sites of related professional associations and interest groups.
