On March 13 and 14 in Leiden, Netherlands, took place the kick-off meetting of the SYNCLUSIVE Project.
SYNCLUSIVE is an innovative, integral, and interdisciplinary systems’ approach to stimulate inclusion of vulnerable groups in the labor market. To achieve this, our six central objectives are:
1) developing and consolidating a coalition of stakeholders in 4 regional Living Labs across Europe along the lines of the Community Coalition Action Theory, using the ENGINE approach. This approach includes an integrated package of interventions that stimulates upward and sideward mobility of vulnerable employees, hereby creating vacancies for inflow of vulnerable job seekers;
2) testing the usefulness and applicability of the ENGINE approach for different vulnerable groups identified as being discriminated against;
3) identifying drivers and barriers for mobility and inflow including discrimination;
4) assessing the impact of the implemented ENGINE approach on the labor market mobility and inclusion of vulnerable groups;
5) identifying transition pathways from the regional to the national and EU policy level; and
6) identifying interoperable and comparative indicators and standards that are relevant for the labor market inclusion of vulnerable groups taking into account the regional, national (legislative, social security) and cultural context.
