National/Regional Experience Since the year 2008, COMPETIR has gained an experience on courses within the 6.1 typology. We are working closely with the partners (Associations) by offering their members training activities we perform. COMPETIR has a network of contacts that enhances the employability of the trainees, in particular, through internships, in various partner entities. The courses run by COMPETIR as a Training Entity within this typology, were designed according to the special needs of particular groups with particular difficulties in accessing of the labor market. The main groups are: a long-term unemployed persons, ethnic minorities, drugs users and other groups whose social integration is found weakened as a result of poverty, discrimination and social marginalization.

National/Regional Experience 06-May-2014 In order to foster social and professional integration of these trainees, were developed activities directly related to the promotion of employability and access to the work of these groups concerned. These courses have achieved high rates of physical implementation and also the level of employability rates has a very positive trend. We verified an insertion rate of approximately 80% of the trainees involved. The success of these courses is mainly due to the training areas we have chosen, which one attend to the program specificities and the specific characteristics of the trainees.

National/Regional Experience Some of the training areas we developed within this typology are: - Floriculture and Gardening - Personal Development - Hotel and Restaurant Industry - Electricity and Energy - Social Work and Counseling This kind of courses are so successful because they promote the personal, social and professional integration of people that facing marginalization and social exclusion, as well as promote conditions for reconstruction / organization and realization of life projects leading to their social (re) integration, through the development of their personal, social and professional skills.
