The two-year project entitled ’New Skills – New Jobs’ – helping people with reduced working capacity to get back to the world of work has been made within the frames of the European Commission’s ERASMUS+ programme by the consortium led by the Government Office of Békés County. The general aim of the project was to search – in a European cooperation – for appropriate solutions to enhance the more successful social and labour market integration of people with reduced working abilities. The basics of the partnership was provided by the fact that in the partner organisations’ countries the low level of employment and access to trainings as regards people with reduced working capacities was a constant problem, at the same time every partner applies good practices for handling the problem, which can be adapted in the partner countries therefore learning from each other helps accomplishing the project aims. In the project a Cypriot non-profit education and cultural institution, a Czech training and counselling organisation, a Spanish reference training institution, an Estonian interest representative and counselling and a Hungarian employment organisation worked together. To ensure the successful implementation of the project, the partners conducted a situation survey to examine what factors are the barriers of employment, and organised 2-day international meetings in each participating country, during which the methods, best practices applied at the partner organisations for counselling services, motivating the target group, involving them into trainings and helping them in the access to acquiring a vocational qualification were introduced.The most important results of the common work for the Hungarian, Cypriot, Czech, Estonian and Spanish partnership implementing the project have been summarised and published in the Brochure of Best Practices. The partner organisations are presented, a brief overview is provided about the labour market situation of people with reduced working capacities in the partner countries, 2 best practices/labour market programmes per country are presented, which contribute to raising the target group’s motivation towards learning, to helping them acquire new vocational qualifications and become employed. As a closing conclusion such initiatives are described and referred to that are applied and organised in the partner countries to promote the social integration and sensitisation of the target group. Furthermore, a Recommendation has been created in each country for professionals dealing with guidance counselling, prior knowledge measurement and assessment, professionals dealing with organising and implementing trainings and programmes enhancing employment and working at employers in workplace integration jobs and organisations and professionals dealing with social acceptance and sensitisation.
