This call for projects aims to enhance the attractiveness and value of these essential professions by focusing on skills development, quality of work life, and professional equality. Investment in human capital is seen as a strategic lever to sustainably improve working conditions and professional fulfillment for employees in these sectors.
Objectives include better anticipating changes and new skill requirements based on labor market needs, improving employee access to training and qualifications, strengthening existing certifications in high-demand professions, supporting training engineering, and developing tools for monitoring and sharing data to coordinate territorial actors and identify skills.
Further objectives involve promoting balanced participation of men and women in the labor market, reducing professional inequalities, improving work-life balance through more adapted employment conditions, supporting the experimentation of new organizational work methods, preventing occupational health risks, encouraging diversity and inclusion, and improving working conditions for employee well-being and health.
Eligible candidates include any type of structure with expertise in the field and organizations proposing projects aligned with the specified actions. Local authorities and their groups are excluded. Collaborative operations (consortiums) are eligible if the lead partner has experience with European funds. Target audiences include employed workers, HR department employees, companies, professional branches, employers, social partners, and associations.
