Editorial
Dear reader,
Sonja Gavez
The year 2011 is the last year of IES Project implementation. One of
the key activities, WP 3 dedicated to transfer of experiences through
Staff exchange, is approaching to its end. During last three months,
the second phase of staff exchange has been implementing.
Receiving partners with the support of donors organized several
technical workshops and dissemination events with the purpose of
promoting good practices, instruments and tools for improvement of
ES systems to local stakeholders and other actors on the labour
market, what is presented in this edition.
And now, WP 4 “Transfer of good practices” starts. Through this
activity IES partnership will raise awareness of policy makers on how
important is the growing of capacities and skills deriving from the
exchange of experience and transfer of good practise made
possible due to the different realities. At this stage the feedback of
the policy makers will be used to identify bottlenecks and to solve
them in practise. Transfer and adaptation of good practices to the
needs of local labour markets will improve employment services in
all five thematic fields (Governance; Choice orientation; Labour
demand -supply matching and job placement; Participation of
unprivileged people to the labour market and Individual
employability and self-employment). During next months, guidelines
and recommendation on how to implement good practises to other
European countries will be designed.
IES brochure where IES project, its activities and IES partnership are
presented in more details is already available at http://www.iesemployment.eu in English and Italian language. It will be also
available in Spanish and German language, soon.

Transferring Good practice Plan
for Adaptation to New Economic
Situation in Employment Services
From November 22nd to December
3rd, 2010 took place in Logroño the
1st phase of the Staff Exchange
planned within the project activities
among the Province of Sassari, the
Province of Oristano and the
Servicio Riojano de Empleo.
The delegations from Sardinian Provinces, both involved in
transferring and implementing two different measures of the Good
Practice named “Plan de adaptación a la nueva situación
económica en los servicios de empleo" achieved by partner
Riojano, had the opportunity in two weeks to experiment some
aspects of the good practice through a direct involvement of the
participant staff members in concrete activities of the Spanish
partner.
After the study visit carried out in La Rioja in February 2010, taking
into account the project's timetable and some relevant aspects of
the Sardinian and Riojano administrative systems, the Province of
Sassari decided to transfer just a part of the good practice that is
named Agent of Promotion of Local Employment (APEL) /Promoter
of economic initiative.
The Staff Exchange has been developed through a series of
technical meetings and “in situ visit” that have allowed the
delegation from the Province of Sassari to get the real framework
wherein this professional figure carries out his tasks. Different
important elements came out: the role of the local network that the
Servicio Riojano de Empleo has built with all the stakeholders of its
territory. In particular, the most impressive feature is the different role
played by the APEL in promoting and spreading SRE services to local
employers and, generally speaking, in implementing economic
development through pre-existing local resources of each territory.
The delegations from Sardinian
Provinces, both involved in
transferring and implementing two
different measures of the Good
Practice named “Plan de
adaptación a la nueva situación
económica en los servicios de
empleo" achieved by partner
Riojano, had the opportunity in two
weeks to experiment some aspects
of the good practice through a
direct involvement of the participant
staff members in concrete activities
of the Spanish partner.
The Apel operates within the Local Authorities, municipalities and
their area, according to a Local Development Plan arranged by
each City Council and funded by the SRE. This professional figure
looks to have flexibility and competence in several areas, carrying
out his activity in a different way, depending on the different local
context. That is confirmed by the concrete cases of the City of
Arnedo (Apel: Alfonso Perez), where the industrial context requires a
local development plan based on the existing background
(especially business services), and Ojon (Apel: Pilar Navarro Lainez),
where the activity related to rural development and eco-tourism is
predominant. Finally, an intermediate context is the case of Aldea
Nueva de Ebro (Apel: Maria Jesus Gutierrez Garcia), as it includes
both previous economic sectors.
During the Staff Exchange, the Sardinian representatives spent some
days at the Labour Office of Arnedo and at the Servicio Riojano de
Empleo of Logroño, trying to get a best focus on this figure and learn
about the strategy of the SRE to face the change economic
scenarios (e.g: globalization and the international economic crisis).

Transferring IES Good practices
As argued by Dr. Gonzalo Carlos
Sainz, Chief of Department of
Industry, Innovation and Labour,
the crisis could be a breathing
space and an important chance of
growth for all labour markets'
actors.
The Servicio Riojano de Empleo, cooperating with its network (the
so-called Collaborative Entities (trade unions, non-profit
organizations, employers' associations), Local Authorities and
Educational Centres), is capitalizing the unfavorable economic
situation to promote its employment services on the territory and
leading a wide training campaign with the aim to get ready, both
employers and citizens, for a possible and expected future
economic change.
An institutional workshop will be jointly held in May 2011 by Province
of Oristano and Province of Sassari. Decision-makers, political and
institutional actors at regional and local level involved in
employment policies will be invited to the event.

Territorial Employment Network Staff Exchange and Workshop
in Oristano, Italy
The good practice will promote at
local level services provided by
Employment service system,
particularly towards enterprises
and their associations,
municipalities and local
stakeholders.
Within IES project, Province of Oristano decided to implement the
good practice “Territorial Employment Network”. The purpose of the
good practice is to enhance and consolidate the network with local
stakeholders, moving from occasional and personal contacts to
stable and formalized relations among local employment actors.
The good practice does not represent a new employment service
which will be added to those already provided by Employment
service system, neither will substitute them.
As it is stated in the application form of IES project, during Staff
Exchange (WP3) donor partners, acting as tutors, will transfer their
experience to receiving partners, involving them in daily activities,
training on the job, writing draft plan of activities.
Staff Exchange was divided in two parts, of which the first took place
in Logroño in November 2010, while the second in Oristano in March
2011.
On the first day donor and receiving partner carried out an analysis
of the Employment services in Oristano and La Rioja, pointing out
similarities and differences between the two systems.
Two representatives from Servicio Riojano de
Empleo attended the staff exchange in
Oristano.
On the second day the two partners discussed about practical
issues related to the transfer of the good practice “Employment
Territorial Network”. On the same day a press conference was
organized to present the workshop to be held on the following day.
Local televisions attended the press conference. Moreover a
summary was sent to local radio and newspapers that published
articles on the event.

Objectives of the workshop were to present the good practice to
local stakeholders and to ensure their involvement and commitment
in implementing it.
Approximately 30 people took part to the workshop, including the six
Employment service centers of the Province of Oristano,
representatives of entrepreneurial associations, Chamber of
Commerce, municipalities, service centers for job placement of
disadvantaged people, staff of Province of Oristano.
Stakeholders who attended the workshop showed interest in the
Spanish model and acknowledged the usefulness of implementing
the good practice at local level.
The Workshop with stakeholders took place
on the last day of the staff exchange.

Supporting Start-ups in Slovenia
in Developing and Realisation of
Business Ideas
In the framework of the IES project,
as a part of second ohase of staff
exchange, the Technical workshop
was held in Maribor, Slovenia, on
the 15th March, 2011.
Technical workshop was attended by 22 representatives of Ministry
of Labour, Family and Social Affairs, Employment Services,
municipalities of Podravje region, Chamber of Commerce and
Industry of Styria, Pensioners' Organizations, Senior Associations,
companies, etc. At the TW Spanish, presented good practice Senior
Entrepreneurship Assessment Programme to local stakeholders. It
was folowed by presentation of Senior programme's transfer and
adaption to local needs by Austrian and Slovene partners.
SENIOR Programme is a service, in which retired businessmen,
professionals (seniors) from different business areas, with extensive
business knowledge and experiences, on the volunteering basis
advise to graduates from University of Murcia at achieving their
business ideas. By transferring their knowledge and experiences the
retired tutors keep their active role in society and at the same time
they also learn from young entrepreneurs. Programme is adjusted to
individuals' needs as individual entrepreneur is advised by the group
of tutors from different business areas at achieving concrete business
ideas.
Project partner FH Joanneum, University of Applied Sciences from
Graz, Austria, is already transferring the Senior Programme, adapted
to Austrian labour market and students needs, pilot project with 2
mentors and development of 3 business ideas.
The Senior Programme that was
developed by the project partner
FUERM, Spain and has been
succesfully implemented in Murcia
for twelve years, was presented by
FUERM representative, Mrs. Consuelo
Garcia Sánchez.
Regional Labour Foundation Podravje has been acquainted with
the Programme during the study visit in Spain and has recognized it
as a good practice for transfer and adaptation to the labour market
conditions in Slovenia, due to its high level of successfulness and low
costs of implementation.

In Slovenia the programme will mainly target the group of young
unemployed people with a minimum of V. level of education,
wishing to realize their business ideas, create the company and new
jobs. Acording to Employment Service of Slovenia data, the quarter
of unemployed in Slovenia is aged between 18 to 30 years. If we
want to increase the number of entrepreneurs in Slovenia,
reasonable adjustment of measures to the target group, removal of
obstacles and adequate motivation will be needed. Support and
assistance at growth and development, especially in the first three
years of operation, when the new companies are very vulnerable, is
essential.
The Senior proframme transfer and
its adaptation was presented by FH
Joanneum representatives, Mrs.
Bernadette Frech and Mrs. Katrin
Wallner.
On the other hand, active ageing is a current social topic in
Slovenia as well as in other european countries, as the population is
ageing, life expectancy is getting longer, working activity is
extending and we are more and more aware of the importance of
working activity even after retirement. Ageing of the population
requires different approaches and measures, by which (in)formal
activity of elder is extended to the »third age«. This raises the quality
of life of older people and economic sustainability of the country.
Senior Programme in Slovenia will contribute to improved and more
accessible counselling offer for the entrepreneurs-beginners, to
increased entrepreneurial activity and by that to increased
(self)employment and decreased unemployment in Slovenia.
Mentoring support after business creation (another two to three
years) raises the interest for enterprising, increases entrepreneurs selfconfidence and ability to take risks and also increases creativity and
innovativeness. On the other hand, also the mentors gain, as they
remain working active also after retirement as well as they can also
learn a lot from young entrepreneurs (especially on the area of ICT).
It is therefore the process of intergenerational learning.
The idea of Senior Programme
adaptation and transfer to Slovenia
was presented by Regional Labour
Foundation Podravje representative,
Mrs. Sonja Gavez.
Austrian partners (FH Joanneum)
also presented the project EMA
(Entrepreneurship Mentoring
Academy), for which the
application was submitted in the
framework of the programme
Leonardo da Vinci. The main aim of
this project is creating the European
mentoring academy (5 mentors per
all partner's countries: Slovenia,
Austria, Spain, Iceland, Turkey) that
supports young entrepreneurs in the
business creation process.
In active discussion the participants concluded that Senior
programme can contribute to entrepreneurial culture improvement
as well as to the development of entire community through
intergenerational connection. Employment Service supports the
idea to select »important« seniors, whose name means something in
the region or locally, which can be advantage or »guarantee for
success«, as for example in Murcia, where young entrepreneur can
obtain the necessary funds in the bank (loan) on the basis of
business plan, verified by senior tutors. The participants emphasized
the importance of connecting the already existing programmes and
measures, using the already existing instruments, therefore the
cooperation on all levels is needed. The participants see the
possibility of cooperation especially between Employment Service,
University Career Centres, Venture Factory etc. The support and the
interest of banks to co-finance the development of social
entrepreneurs can be expected due to Law on Social
Entrepreneurship adoption. Regular weekly meetings of Pensioners'
Organizations members, quite active in Slovenia, can be used as the
possibility to promote the Senior Programme.

Transferring S.P.O.T from Sardinia
to Ilfov A Way to Increase
the Quality of Employability
The reason for having chosen this
best practice is the need of
elaboration of project employment
projects in Ilfov. As the rate of
unemployment in Ilfov is the lowest
in Romania, the best practice to be
transferred should be one meant to
create a frame for the deepening of
the professional formation and not
necessarily one meant to be
directed only to the urgency of
employment, especially for the
students who are preparing
themselves for their future jobs.
Ilfov County Council has chosen as best practice to be transferred
S.P.O.T. (Sportello Polifunzionale di Orientamiento e Tutoraggio),
implemented by The Regional Employment of The Autonomous
Region of Sardinia. The project SPOT is a labour active policy, that
uses the vocational training as instrument of matching offer and
demand.
It is meant increase competences and technical skills and the
employability of unemployed people. In S.P.O.T the vocational
training was only in private enterprises localized in the Municipality of
Cagliari and in its industrial area. It is aimed at letting people
understand which job they like to do and to increase their
competences and employability skills.
The target is also related to:
! The practical aspect of the best practice- in Romania, there is
the need of increasing the practical abilities of the people who
are oriented to certain jobs. The lack of this practical experience
is a gap that should be successfully filled with the model
promoted by S.P.O.T.
! The involvement of the private companies in the formation of the
unemployed people, or of the young people who otherwise
would difficultly find jobs shortly after their graduation.
!
Bucharest, Romania
The elaborations of the documents
of the implementation and of the
guidelines for the students who are
to be part of the project represent a
main part of the transfer at this
moment.
The elimination of distances and barriers between the private
sector, the public sector, including the educational system and
the public administration bodies.
IAt this moment, the transfer of the best practice is focused on
harmonizing the differences between the legal backgrounds
between two administrative entities (Sardinia and Ilfov). The
difference leads to a transfer of the good practice that should be
adapted to the Romanian legislation. For instance, choosing a
group of students instead of short term or long term unemployed
people shows up as a solution for overcoming some difficulties in the
implementation of the transfer.

How to transfer a Job fair
from Sassari, Italy to Murcia, Spain?
FUERM has already carried out
many contacts, meetings and
activities in order to test and
implement some of the transferable
measures in the Job Fair to be hold
in Murcia in April 2011 and then,
FUERM will evaluate the impact of
the first piloting test in order to
improve the transfer for future
editions of Job Fairs in Murcia (twice
per year).
Many regions already organise job fairs but WORKEY, the Job Fair of
the Province of Sassari (Italy), has been locally an example of
concrete active labour market measure able to fit different goals at
the same time. The involvement of a wide number of stakeholders
allowed to develop local and extra-local networks; to spread
information and to promote new PES services (job-matching,
counselling and choice orientation and so on), to make so that
unemployed people can familiarize with active job search
techniques, have enhanced their employability in general and have
implemented the chance to find a proper job opportunity, thanks to
a new support services from PES. For all these reasons, FUERM
decided to transfer key aspects of WORKEY to the job fairs that
traditionally FUERM organises in the Region of Murcia (Spain).
As part of the transfer, FUERM has improved the methodology to
contact and animate companies to take part in the fair and the
collaboration links with other regional institutions dealing with
employment affairs have been strengthened. In parallel, new
methods to attract job seekers have been implemented.
On the other hand, during the job fair, new free services for
participating companies have been planned: companies
presentations, pre-selection of candidates for a position with the
possibility of holding face to face interviews, business breakfast with
human responsible with networking purposes, etc.

Study Visit Graz, Austria
for the Implementation of the
“Mentoring Programme”
In the frame of a lecture of Ms.
Bernadette Frech, Ms. Sánchez had
the chance to present first the IES
project to a group of students and in
a second step also explained the
“Mentoring Academy” and its main
aims to them.
In the frame of the IES project FH JOANNEUM transfers the
“Mentoring Academy” from FUERM (La Fundación Universidad
Empresa de la Regiónde Murcia). This academy aims at increasing
entrepreneurial activities within the region of Styria which are rather
low compared to other European countries. This aim should be
accomplished with the proposition of highly professional
consultancy and advice service by retired and active professionals
that deliver valuable and extensive expertise in different areas of
business to university students and job seekers during the critical
phase of the business creation. As the measure exchange is already
in the implementation phase and therefore Ms. Consuelo García
Sánchez, one of our partners from FUERM came to Graz/Austria from
the 14th until the 18th of March 2011 to monitor the ongoing process
which is made by the team of FH Joanneum concerning the
implementation.
The team of FH Joanneum and Ms. Sánchez worked in many team
sessions in order to discuss the steps which have been already taken
and therefore received feedback. The further implementation of the
measure got also discussed in a very detailed way in order to follow
the guidelines of the project.
The attendees of the lecture then needed to get together in order
to work out business ideas which then needed to be presented in
front of Ms. Frech, Ms. Wallner and Ms. Sánchez who functioned as
jurors and then selected the best business ideas which are now
going to be implemented in the frame of the course taking place in
the study programme of “IT, Law and Management (IRM)” at FH
Joanneum.
All in all the meeting was very successful as the further steps for the
implementation of the measure got concluded and the programme
was once more presented to the target group.

Public Series of Lectures about Entrepreneurship at FH JOANNEUM
In the frame of the IES project FH JOANNEUM transfers the
“Mentoring Academy” from FUERM (La Fundación Universidad
Empresa de la Región de Murcia). This academy aims at increasing
entrepreneurial activities within the region of Styria which are rather
low compared to other European countries. This aim should be
accomplished with the proposition of highly professional

Events are also used to disseminate
the IES. At the first lecture 143 out of
180 registered people participated
and listened excited to the lecture
of Mr. Faschingbauer and all got
informed about the project IES and
the “Mentoring Academy”.
FH JOANNEUM was able to organize three public lectures about
entrepreneurship among which two mentors of the “Mentoring
Academy” who are Mr. Faschingbauer and Mr. Auer participate. For
these events stakeholders and students got invited in order to gain
the essential input and to participate actively during the discussions.
The first lecture by Mr. Michael Faschingbauer took place on the 4th
of March 2011. Mr. Faschingbauer is a business consultant, associate
professor and author of the management book of the year 2010
which is called “Effectuation: Acting instead of Planning”. The
lecture mainly focused on the explanation of the effectuation
theory which states that entrepreneurial acting and thinking can be
learned and that entrepreneurial success is not dependent on
ingenuity and luck but on the actions set by oneself.
Two further lectures are going to take place on the 1st of April and
on the 6th of May 2011. On the 1st of April 2011 Thomas Offner who is
the co-founder of “Groupon” in Austria and Switzerland will talk
about his entrepreneurial experiences which he is going to underline
with practical examples.
Then on the 6th of May 2011 Günter Auer who was the executive
director of “Auer Waffles” and is the executive director of
“Bärenland” is going to talk about his profound experience as an
entrepreneur and about the characteristics an entrepreneur should
have in order to be successful.
As we hope that the positive trend will continue, the team of FH
JOANNEUM expects 400 participants during all three lectures which
would be a huge success.

in the organization and realization of the final Conference, crucial
event where present and disseminate the final results. Moreover, all
the planned activities have the purpose of spreading all the key
messages and disseminate outputs produced and achieved results
within project activities and mostly component 3 Exchange of
experiences.
Regarding this last point, IES is in its crucial phase of finalizing staff
exchange and give course to the final step of the project consisting
in the transfer of the experiences among the selected practices. The
concrete transfer of the practices represent the great challenge of
the project for all the partners and the most important result to
achieve; at the same time there will be a strong effort to define
recommendation, thanks to the acquired knowledge, on how to
implement good practices to make out the most of the Employment
Service System in European countries.
