Better targeting of persons who are unlikely to participate in continuing training

This article investigates the question of how target groups which are difficult to reach and are frequently characterised by a low level of participation in continuing vocational training can be persuaded to take part in training and guidance programmes. Findings relating to barriers and to the opening up of access points have been summarised as part of a current project being conducted on behalf of the Lower Austrian Chamber of Labour. Particular emphasis is being placed on support and on the feasibility of implementation of the findings by company stakeholders. Group discussions were conducted for this purpose within the scope of the project, and the article concludes by presenting the results of these.
