A new focus on Capacity Building for Training and Employment Intermediaries
EQUAL DPs have promoted staff development and new forms of training to improve the anti-discrimination skills of professionals in employment services and other labour market actors to detect, and cope with, discriminatory practices that disadvantaged groups often face in recruitment and placement processes.

Complementing Statutory Services
Existing mainstream services are not always well-equipped to respond to the needs of immigrants and other disadvantaged groups. EQUAL DPs have tackled this issue in a number of ways, often by ensuring that members of the services' staff are training in intercultural communication and/or through the provision of multi-lingual information and advice.
