ESF will evolve into ESF+ for the new programming period 2021-2027. Huge resources will again be made available through the European Union and Member States to help our less advantaged communities, improve skills, and increase access to jobs.

This 2-day course examines what progress is being made on the ground with the current ESF, and what the new draft regulations outline for ESF+. How can we make ESF+ a success? We will focus on the key elements of programming and programme implementation – setting priorities, targeting, project selection, measuring progress and achieving results, simpler management procedures and financial management and control.
