Developing services to open eyes and career opportunities for low skilled Roma youth

The project aimed to strengthen services that support diversity practices in the business sector and promote the labour market integration of Roma youth.

The project developed a method of employment services for Roma youth and training materials for professionals, and training materials for sensitising employers regarding hiring of Roma. Our partners piloted the use of methods in Hungary and Slovakia and shared experiences of pilots. BI disseminated methods and evaluation results among HR professionals, training providers, NGOs, and employment service providers.
