AGAPO
Employing the ‘Unemployable’
A non-profi t organization AGAPO provides consulting services to jobseekers
with social and health disadvantages. Scepticism prevails among many
disadvantaged, including their legal guardians and social workers, who have
doubts concerning both the prospects of fi nding a suitable job and the actual

need for seeking employment in the fi rst place. The organisation applies
a solution-focused approach when providing career consulting services. Both
the staff and clients work together on trying out new ways and methods. A secure
social environment is the essential part of the support, as are activities leading
to creating and reinforcing a motivating environment. Consulting services are
established as soon as interest in fi nding a job is expressed. Multidisciplinary
staff of the organisation, comprising social workers, psychologists, social and
special educators, and a person in charge of getting in touch with employers,
ensures a holistic approach to service implementation.
