To ensure that workshop trainers were fully prepared for the specific needs and interests of the target group, they had to undertake a number of training courses provided by the employment service (OECD/EU, 2016). These coaches provide professional advice related to regulatory and social norms, business plan development, available funding sources and personal skills development (OECD/European Commission, 2013). Since the objective of the programme is to develop multi-disciplinary, cross-sectional projects, there is a shortage of appropriate project evaluators at a local level.
