Labour Market Insertion

Programme activities provide enterprises, young women and men from vulnerable backgrounds with opportunities for productive employment and self-employment, so they become empowered to create resilient livelihoods for themselves. Interventions take place at different levels of the labour insertion process. More specifically, at the demand level, it strengthens enterprises in their role of economy leaders and job creators, through business support activities for enterprises in select economic sectors. On the supply level, it promotes life and soft skills, provides advice and guidance on labour market opportunities and facilitates access to supporting financial and technical services. Business hubs within the ecosystem deliver support to enterprises in the form of networking, training, and market access. Coaches are trained in the C4EE (Coaching for Employment & Entrepreneurship) approach to implement coaching cycles for a period up to 10 months, during which the participants learn about their interests, engage in the world of labour and realistically assess and build their capabilities for employment or self-employment.

C4EE’s placement rate is 60% for the target group having enhanced their mindsets and skills on their way to labour market integration.
