00:00:00.296 --> 00:00:03.378
Discovering your own strengths.

00:00:03.403 --> 00:00:06.360
Finding your way into a job.

00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:10.842
Getting a solid start. Getting ahead.

00:00:10.867 --> 00:00:14.355
The European Social Fund (ESF) provides options for

00:00:14.380 --> 00:00:17.622
people who would otherwise have few opportunities.

00:00:17.647 --> 00:00:21.719
The goal is finding training or a job.

00:00:22.362 --> 00:00:28.603
The ESF has a long tradition. It was launched in 1957.

00:00:28.628 --> 00:00:32.407
And in the current funding period "ESF Plus",

00:00:32.432 --> 00:00:35.694
the ESF is supporting even more people.

00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:41.542
It continues to help ensure the viability of companies.

00:00:41.567 --> 00:00:44.049
But the basic idea remains the same:

00:00:44.074 --> 00:00:46.330
In Germany and throughout Europe,

00:00:46.355 --> 00:00:50.589
every person should have the opportunity to find their place in life.

00:00:50.614 --> 00:00:55.374
The ESF Plus shows the social dimension of Europe.

00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:58.132
It delivers support exactly where it is needed

00:00:58.157 --> 00:01:01.069
and helps people find their path.

00:01:01.094 --> 00:01:04.203
In a Europe that does not leave anyone behind.

00:01:04.228 --> 00:01:07.734
In a Europe of opportunities and possibilities.

00:01:07.759 --> 00:01:10.599
In a Europe characterised by solidarity.

00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:15.319
Or simply: in a Europe with a strong social dimension.
