Over the past year, the OCMW (public social welfare center) of Lier sustainably activated 196 living-wage recipients into work, performing 17% better than the Flemish average. Intensive, tailor-made guidance proves to be the key: at the end of June, the Lier city council extended and expanded its collaboration with JobRoad, so that an additional 100 living-wage recipients will receive three months of intensive guidance on their pathway to work.<\/p>\n\n
In addition to the individual approach, the city and OCMW of Lier are investing in the collective track Jobatelier+, job fairs and company visits, so that living-wage recipients get to know the workplace firsthand.<\/p>\n\n
