Our counseling centers in the North, South, and East receive public funding (ESF).
The European Social Fund (ESF) is Europe's most important instrument for promoting employment. It promotes equal opportunities in the labor market, supports people in accessing better jobs, and in vocational training and qualification.
Through the funding of the European Social Fund, over 12,000 consultations were carried out in our counseling centers from 2019 to 2026.
