The intention of this programme, through transnational cooperation in the field of employment, is the learning of experiences from other countries, the exchange of information and good practices with joint actions to provide knowledge to develop innovative measures that can then be transferred to the active employment policies in our region. It is precisely at this time, when we are going through an unprecedented economic crisis, at which the dedication to innovation in employment policies and reflection on the scope and design thereof, must be a commitment that public institutions must take on from the political conviction that the way to respond to the public in the field of employment is to improve the tools for integration and employability of the most vulnerable groups with the greatest difficulties in accessing the labor market . 7 euroempleo alcala la real In this respect, Euroempleo Alcalá la Real goes a step further, and in its definition of employability considers not only the field of employment but adds the social and educational fields, forming an indivisible set of key aspects that affect citizens’ chances of being employed both individually and collectively. With this object of study exchanges of experience have been carried out with other entities such as the Municipality of Skellefteå in Sweden, Lohfelden City Council in Germany, the Public Centre for Social Action of Frameries City Council in Belgium and the Regional Employment Agency of Sardinia in Italy. The visible result of the work done in the last two years is the handbook of good practices for improving employability in the areas of employment, education and social services presented here. With new elements to be added to the analysis and discussion of employability, this handbook has been produced taking into account the socioeconomic realities of each country and each member, using a precise methodological approach appropriate to the object of study, selecting and analysing good practices with analysis criteria that have made it possible to extract the main innovative aspects of the latter, and make it a text of reference to ensure its successful potential transfer to the field of active employment policies in Andalusia. Finally, it should be stressed that Euroempleo Alcala la Real serves as an example of the effort and commitment of the City of Alcalá la Real in the field of active employment policies. Aware of its responsibility as a public institution that it is now more necessary than ever to join forces and invest in such policies, it sets them up as one of the main lines of action in its political agenda. Granting this important role to these tools is the result of the political certainty that labour exclusion leads to social exclusion, and therefore all actions that improve and promote the development of active employment policies are not only appropriate at this difficult time but absolutely necessary to achieve a society that progresses towards more fair and equal social models.

This paper is one of the results of the Euroempleo Alcalá la Real Project in the framework of the Euroempleo Programme convened and funded by the Andalusian Employment Service and European Social Fund for transnational and interregional cooperation in the field of employment. The changes that have occurred in the labour markets over the last few decades have been a major breakthrough for today’s society. This constant evolution means that the ability to deal with them is a necessary skill for anyone who wants to stay in the labour market; it is necessary to make adjustments in order to adapt. In this manual, these changes are based on three main pillars: promotion of active employment policies, development of educational systems and the work performed by the social services for people with special difficulties of employability. Although there have been projects and initiatives in the field of employment, education and social services, it has proven necessary to transfer the results obtained through the concept of employability issues in a comprehensive way instead of isolation. This document aims to identify and make a comparative study of initiatives which, after a rigorous analysis, can be considered optimal for transnational transfer. The contents of the manual are presented in a didactic and systematized way, set out in the form of headings: Firstly, it provides a theoretical framework of employability through the study of the diverse literature written on this subject in recent years, providing a definition of what the concept of employability means to us. It also highlights the factors that influence it and its relationship with employment, education and social equality. Below is a description of some general aspects of the countries of the partners involved, such as political and administrative organization, 12 euroempleo alcala la real economy, labour market and social protection, offering an overview
