The project’s title is A.LL.D, an acronym in Catalan for Long-Term Unemployment, the name given to the mother project that is currently operating and being developed in Catalonia. The project aims to increase the employability and employment of long-term unemployed people with intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, and mental health disorders across 4 European countries: Spain, Italy, Greece, and Romania. By improving and systematising the innovative Labor Insertion Model of FUPAR, the project will provide tailored solutions to meet the specific socioeconomic and cultural needs of each region.

The project will scale up this model and transfer it to various stakeholders, including local associations, public administration, private enterprises, and academic institutions, through a collaborative approach. Key objectives include adapting the model to local needs, enhancing the capacity of actors within the quadruple helix, and developing an open-access digital interactive tool that will generate customised action plans for labour insertion services. This tool will ensure scalability and sustainability beyond the project’s timeframe. The project’s activities will foster cross-border collaboration, create local alliances, and improve the employment situation of the target group, contributing to their social and economic well-being. The model’s scalability will enable its replication across Europe, creating a lasting impact on employment systems.

Expected results:

• Long-term unemployed individuals with intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, and mental health conditions—by increasing the employability and employment of 175 people, with at least 83 hired directly.
• The innovative Labor Insertion Model will be scaled up and transferred to four different social contexts, strengthening civil society, particularly by empowering local labour insertion associations.
