    Central Finance and Contracting Agency has sent a proposal to the State Employment Agency to apply for European Social Fund financing to realize measures to maintain and improve elder people employment.

    Employment assistance measures are intended for people aged 50 and older who are subjected to the risk of unemployment. In addition, assistance will be provided to people whose education level does not exceed secondary or vocational level or if a person’s return to normal work hours is impeded by a family member’s health and the need to provide care to them. Other conditions for provision of assistance include part-time employment and low income. SEA will provide carrier advice, skill development events and mentor programme, as well as workplace adaptation and other helpful measures, CFLA informs.
