📋 Tender Overview
Labor market councilor Martin Eichtinger sees the measures presented by Labor Minister Martin Kocher as an important step in the fight against long-term unemployment. We know that long-term unemployed and older people find it particularly difficult to re-enter the labor market even in times of crisis. With the Springboard program we can give our compatriots another perspective .An essential step in this is the consultation and support in advance with the aim of handling the selection placement and matching of the respective jobs in the best possible way for both sides. We have already had positive experiences with programs of this kind in recent years and are very pleased that the measures at the federal level are supporting our path said Eichtinger.50000 people who are currently long-term unemployed should be able to get back into employment by the end of next year. For Lower Austria the springboard program can be an additional driver of employment - that is very much to be welcomed said Eichtinger.Corona continues to have a particular effect on long-term unemployment in Lower Austria which rose by an above-average 60.9 6187 people and stood at 16341 people in March. We are consistently working to counteract unemployment. We have developed programs such as Jobstart together with the AMS N to support people in finding a regular job in companies says Eichtinger.Jobchance is a special not-for-profit leasing program for long-term unemployed people and those returning to work which proves year after year that it works thanks to its extremely good placement rates in the primary labor market. Measures against long-term unemployment will be discussed with the social partners and the AMS Lower Austria at the upcoming summit Economy and Work in Dialogue.
