Inside-out

Creating conditions and instrumentents for lower educated workers and handicaped people with a distance to labour market with the aim of a regular position on the labour market. 

The demand for workers has declined the past few years because of the economic recession, but within the next years, there will be a huge demand for quality labour force on the European labour market, due to the ageing population.

Nevertheless, a large group of workers is not active on the regular labour market, but is working in a protected working environment, is disabled or there is another reason for the larger distance to the regular labour market they have.

These groups of workers (disabled people, mentally limited people, lower educated people and prolonged unemployed people) will be needed on the regular labour market in the near future, in order to deal with the foreseen tightness on the labour market.And moreover this group is part of society who cannot be excluded, but must be included. By obtaining a regular job, this group not only meets the needs of businesses, but also the personal needs of people. They will have their own income, will be financially independent, being part of a social structure strengthened the personal power of individuals and improves social cohesion in society and these people will be socially included.
