What is IN-WORK project? 

This initiative, Inclusive communities at work - IN-WORK, which began in 2022, addresses the role of the university within its reference region as a driver for an inclusive culture, by developing and testing a model of intervention that focuses on the relation between the inside and the outside the university and the involvment of the people. The project uses the Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) method, which includes work-based learning (internships and traineeships) to support people with special needs to undertake meaningful learning experiences with the world of work. 

The IN-WORK project is co-funded by the European Union (Erasmus+). Jamk University of Applied Sciences is one of the three universities in the project consortium from different countries of Europe. The universities in this projects have different regulatory frameworks for special needs and belong to different cultures. The project is coordinated by University of Macerata. The fourth partner is an association of universities and has a more comprehensive overview of the topic across countries.
