The global crisis has triggered a serious slowdown in world economic growth – enterprises have stopped hiring and many are laying off workers in considerable numbers. According to the 2009 Global Employment Trends Report, the actual financial crisis should result in 20 million new unemployed by the end of 2009. Older workers with low qualifications and young unemployed workers face special difficulties in finding a new job. In this context, the creation of new businesses and their growth are crucial factors for economic vitality and productivity. Councilors, tutors, trainers and other professionals that work with unemployed people must have proper preparation and tools to provide the necessary support and help citizens evaluating their professional alternatives, namely, the creation of new and sustainable businesses that will constitute valuable contributions to the society and to the economy. The Leonardo da Vinci Project “FREE – Fostering return to employment through entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity” aims at providing a tool to councilors, tutors, trainers and other professionals working with unemployed people to develop a set of hard skills (entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation) and soft skills (those required to support people who want to start a business and also exercises/techniques to promote creativity and innovation). The FREE Project involves the adaptation and integration of already existing contents and techniques in one interactive multilingual tool adapted to the target group’s needs, contributing not only to a better preparation of the target group to the current challenges of the society and economy, but also to foster exchange of resources and experiences (business tools, case studies, etc.) at a European level. By improving their skills in these 3 areas, councilors, tutors and trainers will be able to provide better support to unemployed people, namely by supporting them in the reintegration into the labour market by starting new businesses.
