Tuetusti työhön ja osallisuuteen Päijät-Hämeessä

Supported for employment and inclusion in Päijät-Häme



The main idea of project

• developing the competence of professionals to ensure that they are familiar with the service package for work ability and know how to use it for the client’s benefit

• creating a multidisciplinary service package that identifies work ability support needs among unemployed persons with partial work ability, and involves providing services and service paths in a customer-oriented manner



The sets of measures of project include

• Integrating work ability support into the social and health centres of the future

• Increasing the use of supported employment mechanisms for people with difficulties to find and stay in work (e.g. long-term unemployed, people with disabilities).

• Strengthening the work ability competence of professionals and specialists



As a result of the project, clients will have easily accessible and functional work ability support services.

LAB supports the implementation of the project through evaluation and service design.
