The latest programmes adopted include a project to improve employment, training and education; a programme to stimulate growth in SMEs and entrepreneurship in Catalonia; a programme to tackle social exclusion and poverty in Andalucia and a project to facilitate access to the labour market and improve job quality, including by fostering self-employment, promote the integration into the labour market of those facing more difficulties in order to achieve their social inclusion in Valencia.
The ESF funds a rich variety of projects aimed at improving people’s employment prospects and the jobs they do.
ESF funding is available through the member states and regions. The ESF does not fund projects directly from Brussels
Organisations interested in ESF funding for a project should contact the ESF Managing Authority in their country or region. To find the relevant ESF contact address, visit the ‘Support in your country’ section.
