Objectives

Partnership's main goal is suppression of inequalities on the job market, inequalities resulting from age, sex, access to innovative technologies. The Partnership will also cover employees of small and medium enterprises (SME) that are in danger of losing employment. This concerns these SME that are having trouble adapting to market structural changes, especially enterprises having to under go restructuring and/or outplacement and these having problems with introducing Innovative Information Technologies (IIT) (SME groups undergoing restructuring and/or outplacement and/or having problems with ITI will be called "SME-roi").

Among "SME-roi" employees will be considered two groups. The first group contains people over 40 years old ("40+"), the second group contains women returning from maternity leave "w". In both groups "40+w" are considered people who can keep up with to new demands gaining from information society and free market.

Partnership's goals meet strategic goals of subject F as it can be presented as sum of the three strategic goals:

• Supporting and keeping employment in groups "40+w" (this will be achieved through vocational probations in the Center, supporting outplacement by means of training and workshops, supporting vocational trainings on the employers side by means of conducting consultations, promotion of newly qualified staff in Poland and in EURES network.)
• Help and support in using innovative technologies by giving access to innovative technologies like TeleEdu (e-learning, property of Institute of Mathematical Machines, TeleEdu LMS) and also creating beneficial conditions of franchising contracts;
