Background

The ALMA initiative (“Aim, Learn, Master, Achieve”) aims to support disadvantaged young people not in education, vocational training or employment to integrate into the labour market in their home country, following a supervised work-related learning experience in another EU country.

ALMA will be implemented under the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) and it will be one of the key initiatives of the European Commission under the European Year of Youth 2022.

For more information on how to make ALMA work, please visit the dedicated web page for the Managing Authorities and stakeholders of the European Commission and the website of TLN-mobility.
