Description
The REGIO AKTIV funding program specifically supports measures in Saxony-Anhalt with grants that enable disadvantaged individuals to access the labor market and facilitate a successful transition for young people from school to vocational training. Through funding from the European Social Fund Plus in cooperation with the state of Saxony-Anhalt, projects in the areas of employment, vocational training and further education, health, and social affairs are supported. The funding is aimed at educational institutions, public bodies, companies, and non-profit organizations operating in the respective districts or independent cities. Implementation is based on regional needs, which are assessed and coordinated by the Regional Working Groups (RAK) to provide tailored solutions for the target groups.
The program focuses on improving the employability of people who face difficulties accessing the labor market. The support covers various sub-areas, ranging from individual counseling and support measures to qualification offers and assistance in job and apprenticeship placement. Measures are designed to facilitate sustainable integration and create transitions from social challenges to professional opportunities. Great importance is placed on the professional qualification of the personnel involved to realize well-conceived and targeted projects. A key component is close coordination with regional authorities, who, together with the project sponsors, ensure the success of the initiative.
The project duration is generally 36 months, with the exact amount of the grant varying depending on the implementation concept. Through a two-stage selection process, projects are chosen that address regional challenges and are characterized by efficiency, a high likelihood of success, and sustainable impact. The funding is aimed at all organizations that wish to develop innovative and inclusive measures in the interest of strengthening the regional labor market. REGIO AKTIV thus offers a promising platform to actively shape the integrative structural transformation in Saxony-Anhalt and implement forward-looking projects.
