The pilot project “Orientation and maritime reconversion”, organised by ASPAL in conjunction with Pole Emploi Corse and CIPNES Gallura, was launched in Sardinia. Its aim is to help relocate job seekers or people working in companies hit by the crisis by developing  their entrepreneurial skills and helping them set up new businesses in the blue economy supply chain. The project phases are as follows:

  • 4 seminars for workers of self-employment services at employment offices in Sardinia and Pole Emploi in Corsica where they could learn, discuss and exchange experiences of relevant topics, in order to provide more effective advice about self-employment.

To deal with the COVID emergency and make its projects more current, ASPAL drew up and implemented a series of services, which were introduced in the Sardinia Region through its employment offices, involving orientation and training to help relocate workers and set up new businesses. The pilot project «Orientation and maritime reconversion» was tested through three actions: 1. individual orientation courses to define personal and professional resources, focusing on the person’s skills and any educational needs that emerged; 2. training courses on self-entrepreneurship to help create/convert businesses in the sectors related to the blue economy; 3. seminars to learn, discuss and share experiences with partners on relevant topics in order to provide more effective advice about self-employment.
