This paper presents an overview of the key themes discussed in the 2024 PES Network Stakeholder Conference on ‘Rethinking support for those furthest from the labour market’.

The purpose of this report is to assess the performance for the Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI) strand of the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) for 2021-2023.

The European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) supports sustainable and inclusive growth across Europe by investing in people, skills, and promoting social cohesion.

This study delivers a synthesis of the available evidence on 16 ESF-co-funded instruments in Germany offering support to the individual costs of job-related adult learning, the individual costs of up-and reskilling, instruments that provide contributions to the up- and reskilling costs of employers.

The study outlines the main findings, conclusions and lessons learned regarding the effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, EU added value and visibility of the FEAD support provided as well as the complementarity and coherence with other related funds and policies in the 2014-2020 programming period.
