A secure livelihood in Brainport
Everyone should have the chance to build a secure livelihood. Access to work and education and preventing financial worries are an important basis for this. Despite the economic progress in our region, the number of people with financial problems is growing. We also see that there are still people who could use help finding a suitable learning or working place. Brainport for Each Other focuses on preventing financial problems and opportunities for untapped talent.
Everyone Financially Fit
Did you know that 62 per cent of employers employ employees in debt? And that one in five households in the Netherlands faces payment arrears? One of the reasons why that percentage is so high is because many people with financial stress feel ashamed. Some 80 per cent to be precise. In many cases, the problem is not addressed until it is simply too late. That is, when one is already deep in debt. This is why we developed the 'Financially Fit' programme. To help people in the Brainport region, via their employer, earlier (and thus preventively). After all, prevention is better than cure.

Brainport Employment Plan
Everyone a chance at a good workplace; that is what we want to contribute to with the Brainport Employment Plan. Together with employers, we will make sure that the solidified images of certain target groups are set in motion again. That we think in terms of opportunities and see what is possible. Because everyone deserves a chance. Would you like to participate in thinking about social employership and employment in the region? Then contact programme manager Anja Willems.

Get back to work faster with Buddy Works
Getting back to work faster; that is the aim of 'Buddy Werkt'. With this programme, we link job-seeking people over 50 to a buddy (a CEO, manager or director) who thinks along with them and makes his or her network available. 'Buddy Werkt' is an initiative of the UWV, Ergon and a number of municipalities in the region. Brainport voor Elkaar would like to further roll out this great initiative in the region.
Would you like to know more? Please feel free to contact Ilse van Gulik, programme manager.
