Utvärdering av Tänk Om, lokala arbetsmarknadsprojekt i Norrköping och Linköping.

Abstract

Tänk Om består av lokala arbetsmarknadsprojekt som drivs i Norrköping och Linköping. Susanne Urban har i samarbete med Centrum för kommunstrategiska studier, CKS, fått i uppdrag att utvärdera projektet TänkOm. Det övergripande syftet med projektet är att bidra till lokal utveckling och att utveckla metoder för att hjälpa långtidsarbetslösa att komma in i arbetsmarknaden. Det är ett treårigt stadsutvecklingsprojekt i Linköpings och Norrköpings kommuner som tillsammans har beviljats drygt 18 miljoner kronor ur Europeiska socialfonden för verksamhet under åren 2008-2011.

Description

Tänk Om is an acronym for Swedish words for security, changed conditions, industry, knowledge and local development. The project consists of four local labourmarket development projects in four areas in Norrköping and Linköping. The areas are selected because of high level of unemployment and previous engagement in urban development programs. The activity is pursued mainly with daily meetings with a group of long-term unemployed and a project leader in local workshops, the participants also get opportunities to get practice on a workplace, a number of area based activities has also been performed.

The participants are assigned to the project by the local unemployment agency, the municipalities, and local public insurance office. The main goals for Tänk Om are, according to the application, to contribute to an increasing of the share of employed in the housing areas and to develop the local economy further.

The evaluation consists of four parts. The first part investigates the fulfillment of the quantitative goals and describes how the goals of the project have been changed during the time of the project. The second part is about how the project is organized and how collaboration between different actors has been working. The third part describes the project from the coworkers' perspective and the forth part from the participants' perspective. The role of the project for area-based development and the role of the project for local labour market policy are also discussed in the evaluation.

Reports have been presented for the project steering group and its coworkers every half year and a final report are due in autumn 2011.
