Summary of project results
The project aimed to address the high unemployment rate in Lyaskovets municipality, which combines unfavorably with the lack of skilled workers needed by production companies. Rumoplast-94 took upon itself to hire and train people, who were unemployed for a long period of time, and integrate the production workforce. By achieving experience in their work with the company, both the office and production employees are better prepared for further employment or raising within the company.
3 people were hired: one office administrator and two production specialists. Two mentors, existing company employees, worked with the new staff. The hiring of production staff allowed the company to increase its production capacity and take over orders from new clients, to the point where its online store became fully operational.
The project main achievement is that the project allowed for long-term unemployed people to receive experience and training in a production company environment. Rumoplast 94 benefited from hiring people as it suffered from the constant lack of qualified personnel. The new employees benefited from gaining new skills that they can use in potential further employment. The production capacity of the company has been greatly improved by the new staff; in addition, the mentors now have the experience to train even more new people, where needed.
