The Project „EQUAL CHANCE ON THE LABOUR MARKET” increases the opportunity for underprivileged people to retain their jobs in seven regions in sectors, organisations and jobs endangered from the point of view of employment: people with low education, the Romas, women, single parents, heads of families with a lot of children, people over 45 and handicapped people. The Project offers a development with three pillars (employer, employee and organisations for representation of interests, social partners):

Pillar 1: training based on individual development plans linked with developing skill and ability as well as with providing mentor and coaching services

Pillar 2: training leaders of employers and HR people to extend their knowledge and to prepare them so that they incorporate and enforce the policy expectations of equal opportunities and community employment in their organisations
