The project's guiding principle is work or activity in place of benefits. Individualised solutions are therefore tailored to each person's needs, with the aim of rehabilitating and empowering them.<\/p>\n<p>But this will only succeed with the active participation of the business community in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Working-age individuals receive job offers from companies and organisations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur wishes to strengthen cooperation with companies and institutions in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and encourage local employers to offer temporary employment to individuals who are fit for work.
