THE EQUAL COMMUNITY INITIATIVE
Funded by the European Social Fund (ESF),
the EQUAL Community Initiative tests new ways of tackling
discrimination and inequality experienced by those in work
and those looking for a job.
The key principals of EQUAL are: transnational
co-operation, innovation, empowerment, thematic and partnership
approach, dissemination and mainstreaming to ensure that EQUAL
informs policies and practice. The activities are structured
on the four pillars of the European Employability: Entrepreneurship,
Adaptability, Equal opportunities for women and men, and the
needs of asylum seekers.
EQUAL forms part of the European Union strategy to create
more and better jobs and to make sure that no-one is denied
access to these jobs. |

THE S.UP.PORT. PROJECT
The SUPPORT project – Skills Upgrading
in the Ports, is the only Italian project in the shipbuilding
sector that has been financed by the European Social Fund
within the framework of the EQUAL Community Initiative.
The project is the result of specific requirements
in the port sector, and aims to provide solutions to prevent
the risk of job loss, particularly in the shipbuilding sector.
In fact, the promoters, Livorno Port Authority as project
leader, Naples Port Authority and Genoa’s Finporto company,
during the summer of 2001, when the shipbuilding crisis was
growing, developed this project on the basis of two motivations:
- the realization that the crisis was affecting the European
shipbuilding sector in general, including Italy;
- the knowledge that the consequences of such a crisis will
have a heavy impact in a productive environment like the
Italian shipbuilders market, mainly composed of small and
medium-sized shipyards, in terms not only of job losses,
but also of a strong necessity for retraining the work force.
For these reasons, our project is addressed
to Human Resources in shipbuilding companies, and also to
port companies, terminals and dock labour. |
