ESPA 2021 - 2027
Actions promoting employment are implemented through integrated interventions (counselling, training with certification) as a key active employment policy and focus on upskilling/reskilling in line with labour market needs based on the Mechanism of Labour Market Diagnosis in emerging growth and innovation sectors with high added value. They are addressed mainly to the unemployed population of the country and to more vulnerable groups with the aim of:
• Promoting the unemployed and jobseekers into employment
• Integrating them into the labour market in quality and sustainable jobs
• Reducing unemployment, especially for young people
• Creating equal opportunities for all
• Ensuring Social Cohesion
Additionally, the Executive Unit ESPA of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security develops social innovation actions. In this context, ALMA (Aim, Learn, Master, Achieve), a new initiative of the European Union, aims to support young people not in employment, education or training (NEETs) through cross-border mobility with a focus on the most vulnerable groups. The aim of the programme is to provide vulnerable young NEETs with the incentives and skills for new employment, education and training opportunities by enhancing their skills, knowledge and work experience in order to promote active inclusion and employment.
