Country / City Ireland / Dublin (Ballyfermot)
Name of the practice: Ballyfermot & Chapelizod Partnership Local Employment Service
description The Local Employment Service has been established to provide clients with information and guidance in a confidential and accessible setting.  For those who are unemployed and on the live register we provide a guidance service, information on current employment vacancies, CV service, Job Club, Enterprise advice and assistance.

We do not have a specific service for older people. They are given the same service as any client and those up to 65 are being targeted by the labour activation policy and being sent to us seeking employment.

We are part of the Ballyfermot & Chapelizod Partnership who has a Community Department, Education Department, Enterprise Department and the Local Employment Service. The development activity of the Partnership is about enabling people to enhance their capacity to play a role in shaping the community they live in. We work with community groups and other agencies to identify needs, and to plan in a strategic way for the development of local area action plans.

The Local Employment Service’s are all located within Partnership companies but also has its own national LES Network. We have strong local connections to employers, colleges, training companies, other community organisations, referral agencies.

Country / City Santander, Spain
Name of the practice: Subsidies Programs addressing the creation, maintenance and stability of employment in Cantabria
description Cantabria is an Autonomous Community of 593.121 inhabitants, out of these  179.921 live in the municipality of Santander.The specific approach consists in the incentive of the recruitment and contract maintenance of unemployed, preferably from the groups with more difficulties to enter the labour market and among those the people aged +50. In both situations, the stimulation of recruitment and the contract maintenance is done through the concession of subsidies to recruitment on another’s account and to the commitment of contract conversion from temporary or fix-term contracts to permanent contracts.

These aids are regulated by a legislative mandate that shows the measure procedures and budget:

Order EMP/54/2010, dated June 30th 2010 by which are established the regulation bases and are approved the concession of subsidies and aid to the programs addressing the promotion of employment creation, maintenance and stability in the Autonomous Community of Cantabria.

It follows the EU guidelines on employment matters, and the social partnership agreements signed between the government, the major worker unions and the employers’ representatives of the sector involved. This and the amount of the budget allocated are other reasons for choosing this measure to be reviewed.

This regional incentive measure was effective through the approval and publication of the following legislative mandate: BOC-129 06 de julio de 2010 – Boletín Oficial de Cantabria
