📋 Tender Overview
At yesterdays government meeting the state of Lower Austria decided to continue funding three regional employment projects for 2022. These projects are financed together with the AMS Lower Austria and a total of 2.6 million euros are being spent on them. We are thus ensuring the continuation of the projects to support job-seekers entering or re-entering the labor market said labor market councilor Martin Eichtinger and continued In December we had the lowest unemployment rate in 14 years. In order to be prepared to enter the labor market again after a long period without gainful employment individual and targeted support is often required. Employment projects aim to help people get back into the labor market.At the end of 2021 for example Waidhofen an der Ybbs was able to report an unemployment rate of less than four percent. The association JOB - association for the promotion of employment and training in the upper Ybbstal was founded in 1999 with the aim of counteracting the increasing unemployment among young people and the long-term unemployment of older workers. The association offers the opportunity to gain entry into professional life or an apprenticeship through professional practice in various areas. The areas of activity at the eleven transit jobs include dismantling old electrical appliances helping in the waste collection center of the city of WaidhofenYbbs maintaining the regional green and recreational area or the JOB garden or activities in the municipal area says Eichtinger.The association Kulturlandschaft Schmidatal pursues the goal of making it easier for unemployed people in the district of Hollabrunn to reintegrate into the regular labor market through measures for personal stabilization professional qualifications and training deals with projects of regional development.The project provides 21 transit jobs which are filled several times a year.The non-profit employment project LOK IN local initiative for landscape maintenance and gardening project Mistelbach has been providing 16 transit jobs for particularly disadvantaged or long-term unemployed people every year since 2006. LOK IN has so far been able to build up an extensive customer base in the region of the northern Weinviertel with municipalities in the Mistelbach district and Gnserndorf district but also with private clients and forestry companies. Especially the offer of gardening and forest care was in great demand.As part of the Lower Austrian labor market strategy 2021-2027 the state of Lower Austria together with the AMS Lower Austria is supporting 13 non-profit employment projects throughout Lower Austria.
