Small Enterprises Accessing the Open Labour Market
Chemnitz (GER), March 2008 - The project SOLE is a Leonardo Transfer-of-Innovations-funded project that brings placement support to new EU member states and is targeted towards SMEs and job seekers in foreign countries. The Project's aim is to help employers who take on workers, trainees, and students from other European countries. From October 2007 until October 2009, the three partners, Interminds LLC, Bulgaria, ROC Midden, the Netherlands, and Community4you GmbH, Germany will carry out the project.
The project aims to help surmount the boundaries that employers encounter regarding the mobility of the employees, giving them an instrument that will create accurate profiles of the position. This will support the process of integration of young people and students and will help them overcome social, cultural, and language barriers as well as differences in the company methods and strategies that are new to them.
SOLE will assist Bulgarian SMEs during the integration phase of new employees with a web-based tool to speed up the integration process and make it more effective. The SOLE online tool will be simple to use and will offer a tailor-made orientation across all industries. With the help of competence profiles and generically produced eLearning modules, employees will become more effective and efficient in less time.
The orientation tools, the accompanying competence tools, and the integrated eLearning modules will be translated into the Bulgarian language. They can be adjusted to company- specific needs.
