ESF Operational Priorities

The ESF Programme has two priorities for funding. They are:

  • Extending Employment Opportunities – this priority will support projects that help unemployed and economically inactive individuals to enter the labour market.
  • Developing a Skilled and Adaptable Workforce - this priority will support projects that improve the skills of the current and potential workforce, with an emphasis on reducing the number of people without basic skills and qualifications.
