The “Social Employment Programme for the years 2023-2025” is a programme by the Minister of Family and Social Policy, through which social employment entities, i.e. centres and clubs for social inclusion, can improve the quality of their offer to these persons.

The major objective of the programme is, first of all, to strengthen the participation of socially excluded persons in social and professional life by developing the offer of social employment entities.

Entities managing centres and clubs for social inclusion, inter alia, will be able to apply for receiving a subsidy as part of an open competition under the “Social Employment Programme for the years 2023-2025”. In addition, under Priority 1 and 2, a subsidy may be applied for also by non-governmental organisations or entities listed in Article 3(3) of the Act on public benefit and volunteer work jointly with entities managing centres and clubs for social inclusion, as part of a joint tender, and by entities entitled to create SEE, which will carry out Task 2 under Priority 1.

The budget for financial support for projects in 2023 is PLN 3 million and projects for implementing the public task can apply for co-financing ranging from PLN 20 to 120 thousand under all priorities.

The programme consists of 3 Priorities. These are:

Priority 1 Reintegration services, aimed at adapting the offer of social employment entities to new socio-economic circumstances.

Priority 2 Reintegration paths, aimed at increasing the chances of persons using the support of SEE to find a job.

Priority 3 Institutional strengthening of SEE, aimed at professionalising SEE by enabling their cooperation and exchange of experience and supporting the professional development of their employees.
