Theme: Reaching the fringes - a more including working place

Never before in modern times has the Nordic labour market been in such good shape. 2008 will enter history as the best year ever for newly qualified jobseekers with higher education. But there are still large groups on the fringes - or completely outside - of the labour market. These are groups who need more support and a different approach. Denmark trains mentors who look after those in need of special attention when they start their first ever job. In Sweden, “Fryshuset” tries to stop young people falling outside society by turning destructive behaviour to something positive, making sure they stay in school or get a job.
