Project Objective and Target Group

The aim of the project “Integration Support Path” is to facilitate the integration of unemployed newcomers who have arrived through family migration, recipients of international protection, and Roma communities living in Estonia into Estonian society.

The target group consists of unemployed individuals aged 15–74 who require support to enter and remain in the labour market.

The project’s activities promote employment and job retention by offering a diverse range of psychosocial support services tailored to the target group.

All activities and services are designed with consideration for the cultural and linguistic backgrounds of participants (services are provided in Estonian, Russian, and English).

All services are free of charge for the target group.
