The project’s activities include:
A. Career Counseling (25 individual sessions).
Action A includes the planning and implementation of 25 individual career counseling sessions for each beneficiary of the project. The objective of this action is achieved through the development of a personalized reintegration pathway into the labor market for each beneficiary and the support provided for the implementation of their individual action plan. During the sessions, beneficiaries are also referred to the subsequent actions of the project.

The objective of Action B1 is to provide the participating beneficiaries with vocational training programs, totaling three hundred (300) instructional hours, with the primary aim of supporting their integration, reintegration, and/or continued participation in the labor market.
The training program is implemented in three (3) successive phases corresponding to the thematic modules:
