6. Improved employment opportunities on labour market

As a result of cross-border cooperation, people’s competitiveness on labour market and entrepreneurship capabilities are improved and additional anti-discriminatory policies are applied by organisations.

The focus of the programme objective is to strengthen and improve employment opportunities on the labour market through joint efforts in the Central Baltic region. The programme activities support less competitive groups in the society to access work opportunities. Also labour market inflexibility is tackled.

The supported activities are targeted towards all counterparts of the labour market (i.e. employers organisations, trade unions, governments) and all sectors where work opportunities (including part time) are available. Facilitating employment supply and demand across borders is also supported, as well as entrepreneurship development activities towards the less competitive age groups and youth.

Types of partners

Organisations with competence and experience on labour market, organisations representing employees, employers or public authorities, organisations representing disadvantaged groups, and organisations with competence and experience on entrepreneurship.
