Research: 3 interviews
The third was a piece of research – 3 interviews were carried out – with professionals working in the unemployment field around the issue of Job Coaching. Here we explored: how they work with their different target groups: the opportunities they feel they have to empower people: the competences involved and, therefore, the training needs. Apart from these questions, we explored reactions to the Empowerment Model and discussed if it could be useful for their work.
