• assessment of local needs;

• training management skills for social economy staff;

(that was never implemented in practice)

• recruitment and follow up of workers (usually in cooperation with WISEs);

• job placement of workers at the end of the work contract.

• subsidies 50% of the initial start-up investment (limited to 18 times the Portuguese minimum wage which represents approximately 3.750€);

• ensures a personal accident insurance and a grant to each trainee during the 6 months period of training;

• contributes with 80% of the minimum wage plus social security tax for each worker under integration process;

• it offers a reward (12 times the minimum wage which represents approximately 5.000€) to those promoters which in the end hire works permanently.

Most abundant Isolated cases

- Similar to shelter employment/occupational workshops

- Similar to any other service deliver by the promoters (typically laundries, catering, gardening) for the promotor (no contact with ‘regular’ labour market outside the promoter

- Similar to any other service deliver by the promoters but for one sole outside client (hospital, municipality…)

- Effective transitional scheme with strong relations with community and local employers

- Strategic orientated to sustainability in the market

- Local development orientated

II. WISESDifferent schemes of work integration/sustainable

management

III. WISES organogramWhat do we already know?

• Most common are small size (up to 10 works) and similar to the experience that we ae going to visit

• Others have made work integration a part of the promotor mission and have developed clusters of WISES (having a more complex structure)

• Others stick to one WISE and try to, qualify their services, develop a commercial strategy and/or a more close relation with employers

Strategic management: usually the President and/or executive director

Executive management: Social – phycology, social

work….from other promoter’ services

(some times +) technical – agronomy, cooker, designer…

Productive baseLevel 1 – field coordinator (often former

beneficiary)Level – 0 trainee or worker
