Our new ESF project is worth almost HRK 900 thousand

The new project will be co-financed by the ESF (European Social Fund), and is intended to develop the competencies needed in the labor market.

The new project is aimed at the implementation of an educational program for cleaners, for which, due to the lack of such in the Republic of Croatia, there is a great demand on the labor market. The target group of the project will be the socially sensitive population, of which members of national minorities and people over 50 years of age stand out, for whom lack of competence is a major obstacle in obtaining a job. Callidus – Institution for adult education as the project leader, together with partners, will offer the target group the opportunity to acquire education with the aim of increasing their competences and knowledge, and thus greater opportunities for employment.
