Mytileneos' HoMellon programme: Reintegration of the homeless in the labour market
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The first Social Accelerator for the Integration of the Homeless, Newly Homeless and People Living in Unsafe Housing or Unsuitable Areas was successfully completed by MYTILINEOS, in collaboration with the Social Enterprise KNOWL.
The Social Accelerator, called HoMellon, aims to integrate these groups into the job market. Through the programme, 52 pct of the beneficiaries are now working, 6 have been trained and certified in professional skills corresponding to specific positions in the labour market, and 3 people who lived on the street or homeless structures now live in homes.
All activities were completed without delay in the midst of the pandemic, recording 6 months of Intensive and Personalized Training, by experienced trainers, social workers, psychologists and work counselors of the KNOWL Social Enterprise Network.
In total, more than 2,100 teaching hours were offered in technical, digital and interpersonal skills - either live or online - personalized to the profile, needs and professional expectations of each individual beneficiary. At the same time, all the beneficiaries developed their personal CVs and were further strengthened through the interview simulations with experienced HR market executives and direct connection with the labour market.
