Brytpunkt (Turning point)

The target group of the project called Brytpunkt experience problems of a complex nature, often with combined difficulties in physical, psychological and social abilities. To hold an innovative approach that offers many different ways on how to enter or enter or return to work life is required to meet the needs of the target group. The main objective for this project is to facilitate the possibilities to fasten the process of getting from alienation to studies, work or enterprising, based on the desires and needs of the individual. The process of returning to work life will be more efficient and sustainable in the long term perspective through close cooperation between the authorities, health care, specialists and pedagogues.

The demands of the labour market have constantly increased for the last decades and the gap between the regular labour market and the employability of the target group has grown to an extent that is hard to handle for the individual.The project focus will be, as mentioned above, in three areas:

• Work training/Practice Individual long term action plans, focus on relearning the social interaction in a workplace as well as the professional training.
• Study training Focus on bringing loss the capacity for studying. Preparation for regular studies for those people in need of this.
• Social enterprising/economy The project participants and staff will be offered an education in how to start and run a company, based on social enterprising, alternatively being employed in such a company. Within our organisation we already have an embryo to transform into a social enterprise and have to find the ways to do so.

The project participants are from 18 to 65 years old.

We are looking for transnational partners to develop our main focus areas mentioned above.
