BEST project is a joint endeavour of 7 partners from Austria (Gain&Sustain:Europe, FH Joanneum), Slovenia (ZRC SAZU), Croatia (CPS, Impact HUB Zagreb) and Italy (FINN, OIKOS) that have the common motivation of improving the effective integration of third-country nationals (TCN) into the labour market through cooperation between public and private institutions
The project idea emerged while working on projects focused on economic and social integration of migrants that detected the need of offering specific strategies to TCN who would like to become self-employed and/or open their own businesses. Self-employment is one of the most successful tools to create long-term labour integration, creating a win-win situation for all the players and increasing the integration of TCN on different levels.
Through BEST, the consortium will implement social entrepreneurship trainings in each partner-country and establish effective cooperation with public key-stakeholders, aiming to facilitate the management of migrant integration and designing a tailored training program with blended learning.
