The Social Support point is a system tool helping coordinate the information flow among organisations, institutions and firms offering assistance and training entities in a given area and gather data regarding a given social problem. The presented solution also helps realistically assess the needs of the beneficiaries in a given territory and assist them in their attempts to return to the labour market. Thanks to Social Support Points beneficiaries gain easier access to information concerning support and training services available in the market.
