Abstract

The review describes the Supported short-term job model developed in the Missing Piece project. The aim of the model is to build an employment opportunity between subsidized employment and the open labor market. Person who wants to do short-term job is able to get support to reflect their overall situation and strengths, wishes and fears. The necessary support will continue during and after the short-term job. Successful experience from the short-term job increases the experience of your own skills, opportunities and belonging to something. In the model, the starting point for supporting agency is the needs and aspirations of the individual for the social growth and well-being sought without coercive agency.
