Recruit potential – VET measures for Inclusive Employers - Recruit potential

INTERNATIONAL PROJECT “RECRUIT POTENTIAL” has been successfully completed

Within the frameworks of the European Union's Erasmus+ programme the Daugavpils City Council together with the Skelleftea Municipality in Sweden (Lead Partner) successfully implemented the project Recruit potential (“Recruit potential – VET measures for Inclusive Employers”). Project has been implemented by 5 partners from 5 different countries – Sweden, Portugal, United Kingdom, Netherlands and Latvia.

The aim of the project was implementation of measures for inclusive recruitment by means of appropriate training. The main challenge of this project is the demand for competent and skilled workers in the labor market, which over time can become greater than the supply.

In order to improve the recruitment of human resources and the quality of work in local governments, a learning program was developed as a part of the project. This learning program is intended for all types of professionals working with staff, administration and work organization. The program is designed to promote an inclusive labor market and highlight the benefits of a diverse workforce. The program consists of 6 modules which include presentations and additional handouts for interactive learning of the topic.
