Streghten the chain – every link matters!
We promote and smooth the labour market transition of people at a disadvantage.
Our aim is to increase work capability measures, services and guidance that promote the transition to work and enable people to work at their own capacity. We will enrich the diversity of working communities by considering ways and providing tools for equal and non-discriminatory recruitment practices.
The project will highlight the extensive experience of our experts in teaching with special needs, the specificities of special teacher training and the needs and implementation of special and special needs support.
