The study examines the main characteristics of training for public employees excluded from the primary labour market in the period 2016–2020. The study also included an analysis of the number of ...participants by gender, age group, educational attainment and their subsequent successful employment in the labour market. Public employment is a transitional measure designed to help people who have been excluded from the world of work back into it. Training courses for public employees have been set up with the same aim, to get trainees into work as quickly as possible by learning a new profession. The results show large spatial and regional differences, and it can be said that training is concentrated in the regions (mainly in the eastern regions) where it is most needed. On the whole, however, the training did not achieve the desired result, as the public employees who successfully completed the training either became unemployed 6 months after the training or could only find a new job in the secondary labour market, i.e. as public employees.

This open access book sheds light on a range of complex interdependencies between adult education, young adults in vulnerable situations and active citizenship. Adult education has been increasingly ...recognized as a means to engage and re-engage young adults and facilitate their life chances and social inclusion thus contributing to an active citizenship within their societal contexts. This collection of chapters dealing with issues of social inclusion of young people represents the first book to explicitly approach the complex interdependencies between adult education, young adults in vulnerable situations and active citizenship from the European perspective. Social exclusion, disengagement and disaffection of young adults have been among the most significant concerns faced by EU member states over the last decade. It has been increasingly recognised by a range of stakeholders that there is a growing number of young people suffering from the various effects of the unstable social, economic and political situations affecting Europe and its neighbouring countries. Young adults who experience different degrees of vulnerability are especially at risk of being excluded and marginalised. Engaging young adults through adult education has been strongly related to addressing the specific needs and requirements that would facilitate their participation in social, economic and civic/political life in their country contexts. Fostering the active citizenship of young people, both directly and indirectly, is an area where many AE programmes overlap, and this has become a core approach to integration. This book considers social, economic and political dimensions of active citizenship, encompassing the development of social competences and social capital, civic and political participation and the skills related to the economy and labour market. The cross-national consideration of the notions of vulnerability, inclusion and active citizenship underpins the complexity of translating these concepts into the national contexts of adult education programmes.
