Project “Generation tandem”

Generační tandem

The project “Generation tandem” aims to support generational exchange and intergenerational solidarity in the labor market. It focuses on retaining pre-retirement workers and aligning the skills of new entrants or those returning to the labour market with job market demands. The project is co-financed by the European Social Fund and the state budget of the Czech Republic. It is managed by the Regional Branch of the Labour Office in Příbram. The project targets job seekers and those interested in employment in the Central Bohemian Region. It specifically focuses on pre-retirement workers and new entrants to the labour market, including graduates and those returning from parental leave or caregiving. The project provides wage subsidies to employers for hiring new employees and retaining pre-retirement workers. It includes training and mentoring programmes to transfer skills from experienced workers to new employees. Employers must retain pre-retirement workers for at least six months after the subsidy period. Regarding observed impacts, the project has enhanced job security for older workers and facilitated the transfer of knowledge to younger employees, improving their employability. The project was implemented from January 1, 2016, to April 30, 2023.
