Kielce initiates EU‑funded job activation project and celebrates Youth Day 2026

The County Labor Office in Kielce will run the project “Od bierności do aktywności” from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Funded by the European Social Fund Plus with a total cost of 898,267.50 zł (848,267.50 zł from EU funds), the scheme targets 32 unemployed residents of the Kielce county (16 women and 16 men, including one disabled woman). Participants will receive job mediation, individual action plans, vocational and legal counseling, internships, training, equipment subsidies of up to 30,000 zł per workplace, and a relocation allowance. The project aims for 22 participants to secure employment within four weeks after completion.
