Demand

The goal of the Nautilus project is to add to the supported employment model for integration of disadvantaged persons into the open labour markets components (products) that foster its sustainability and contribution by the economic activities to a broader exercise of social responsibility that is more consistent and long-lasting.

Solution

In addition to expanding the foundation of the supported employment model, namely in using personal marketing by disadvantaged persons, Nautilus has applied and developed a study (pioneer) regarding the cost/benefit ratio of integrating disadvanted persons at companies (and other employers). It also created a practical tool that will alow Human Resources Departments to easily apply the supported employment model.

The products were well received by the various incorporators (companies, organisations, integration staff and employment applicants), who have expressed an interest in using it at their organisations.
