The goal is to put a stop to unemployment, find a job, or start training or a work try-out as soon as possible or gain the skills necessary to participate in the aforementioned solutions. Additionally, you will have a realistic and practical plan on how to proceed at the end of the coaching.
The overall duration of the Job Path Coaching service is 2–3 months, and it includes: group-based job search coaching (8–14 people, a minimum of eight participants) lasting for five days, during which the group will discuss topics such as the following:
