135
136 On a strateg{{{(i)}}}c level, {{{(i)}}}t {{{(i)}}}s {{{(i)}}}mportant for the measures and act{{{(i)}}}v{{{(i)}}}t{{{(i)}}}es for d{{{(i)}}}sadvantaged groups to be rev{{{(i)}}}ewed and updated on a regular bas{{{(i)}}}s.

137
138 Secondly, {{{(i)}}}t {{{(i)}}}s {{{(i)}}}mportant for PES to th{{{(i)}}}nk carefully about who {{{(i)}}}s best placed to del{{{(i)}}}ver such measures.

In such cases, appropr{{{(i)}}}ate subcontract{{{(i)}}}ng arrangements can be put {{{(i)}}}n place between the PES and the organ{{{(i)}}}sat{{{(i)}}}on to del{{{(i)}}}ver the act{{{(i)}}}v{{{(i)}}}ty w{{{(i)}}}th st{{{(i)}}}pulated dates, agreed numbers of part{{{(i)}}}c{{{(i)}}}pants and agree{{{(i)}}}ng the content of the act{{{(i)}}}v{{{(i)}}}ty as well.

Th{{{(i)}}}s can mean that PES resources can be spent more eff{{{(i)}}}c{{{(i)}}}ently, and PES staff may be able to spend more t{{{(i)}}}me on other types of jobseekers. Th{{{(i)}}}s {{{(i)}}}s also a way that PES demonstrate how they are (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work{{{(i)}}}ng(%%) together w{{{(i)}}}th d{{{(i)}}}fferent organ{{{(i)}}}sat{{{(i)}}}ons across the labour market to create {{{(i)}}}nclus{{{(i)}}}ve, susta{{{(i)}}}nable [[employment>>doc:work{{{(i)}}}ng:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]].
139
140 In terms of del{{{(i)}}}ver{{{(i)}}}ng jo{{{(i)}}}ned-up serv{{{(i)}}}ces for d{{{(i)}}}sadvantaged groups, ava{{{(i)}}}lable ev{{{(i)}}}dence shows that th{{{(i)}}}s {{{(i)}}}s often dr{{{(i)}}}ven by the need of serv{{{(i)}}}ce prov{{{(i)}}}ders to tackle barr{{{(i)}}}ers to [[employment>>doc:work{{{(i)}}}ng:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] {{{(i)}}}n parallel to those {{{(i)}}}n other areas, such as educat{{{(i)}}}on, health and hous{{{(i)}}}ng.

224 === 5.2.1.1 How can PES reach out to young people who are furthest from the labour market? ===
225
226 Some groups of young people face part{{{(i)}}}cular challenges and barr{{{(i)}}}ers to access the labour market. Th{{{(i)}}}s can {{{(i)}}}nclude ch{{{(i)}}}ldcare, other car{{{(i)}}}ng comm{{{(i)}}}tments, lack of transportat{{{(i)}}}on and {{{(i)}}}n some cases, lack of a permanent address. Th{{{(i)}}}s can mean that certa{{{(i)}}}n groups of young people who may requ{{{(i)}}}re the most support do not engage w{{{(i)}}}th PES and they can become ‘lost’ and rema{{{(i)}}}n outs{{{(i)}}}de the system.
227
228 PES need to use ta{{{(i)}}}lored approaches to reach out to such groups of young people as well as other measures to ensure early act{{{(i)}}}vat{{{(i)}}}on and engagement. Us{{{(i)}}}ng spec{{{(i)}}}f{{{(i)}}}c approaches, PES can ensure that young people furthest from the labour market get the support they need to enter susta{{{(i)}}}nable [[employment>>doc:work{{{(i)}}}ng:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]].
229
230 Young people at r{{{(i)}}}sk often requ{{{(i)}}}re a lot of ‘hand hold{{{(i)}}}ng’ as they may need support to develop w{{{(i)}}}der transferable sk{{{(i)}}}lls and behav{{{(i)}}}ours as well as ass{{{(i)}}}stance w{{{(i)}}}th f{{{(i)}}}nd{{{(i)}}}ng [[employment>>doc:work{{{(i)}}}ng:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]]. For example, a young person who {{{(i)}}}s fac{{{(i)}}}ng mult{{{(i)}}}ple barr{{{(i)}}}ers to [[employment>>doc:work{{{(i)}}}ng:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]] and has had negat{{{(i)}}}ve exper{{{(i)}}}ences {{{(i)}}}n educat{{{(i)}}}on {{{(i)}}}n the past may not automat{{{(i)}}}cally trust the PES, or a person represent{{{(i)}}}ng the PES, and {{{(i)}}}s l{{{(i)}}}kely to lack (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)work(%%)-related behav{{{(i)}}}ours. A person-centered approach can therefore help to bu{{{(i)}}}ld up trust w{{{(i)}}}th the young person and create {{{(i)}}}n-depth knowledge about the {{{(i)}}}nd{{{(i)}}}v{{{(i)}}}dual’s needs. In some countr{{{(i)}}}es such as L{{{(i)}}}thuan{{{(i)}}}a (see Case Study 12 below), PES counsellors have adapted a mentor{{{(i)}}}ng role to prov{{{(i)}}}de {{{(i)}}}ntens{{{(i)}}}ve support to certa{{{(i)}}}n target groups, {{{(i)}}}nclud{{{(i)}}}ng young people.

391
392 To be able to mon{{{(i)}}}tor the effect{{{(i)}}}veness of d{{{(i)}}}fferent measures for d{{{(i)}}}sadvantaged groups PES must have systems {{{(i)}}}n place to collect data. Th{{{(i)}}}s should be a standard{{{(i)}}}sed process across PES off{{{(i)}}}ces on a local, reg{{{(i)}}}onal and country level so that results can be collated and v{{{(i)}}}ewed as a whole.

400
401
402 W{{{(i)}}}th regards to collect{{{(i)}}}ng qual{{{(i)}}}tat{{{(i)}}}ve {{{(i)}}}nformat{{{(i)}}}on PES can undertake onl{{{(i)}}}ne or paper ex{{{(i)}}}t quest{{{(i)}}}onna{{{(i)}}}res.

Secondly, an ex{{{(i)}}}t quest{{{(i)}}}onna{{{(i)}}}re can also be used to f{{{(i)}}}nd out the ‘d{{{(i)}}}stance travelled’ and knowledge ga{{{(i)}}}ned. These can be carr{{{(i)}}}ed out at the end of a programme, for example vocat{{{(i)}}}onal tra{{{(i)}}}n{{{(i)}}}ng programme, and where paper-based quest{{{(i)}}}onna{{{(i)}}}res are used they can be done ‘ons{{{(i)}}}te’ to ensure a good response rate.

407
408 PES can collect a vast amount of data by record{{{(i)}}}ng {{{(i)}}}nformat{{{(i)}}}on v{{{(i)}}}a the methods outl{{{(i)}}}ned above.

For example, the data could show that more (or less) d{{{(i)}}}sadvantaged groups are part{{{(i)}}}c{{{(i)}}}pat{{{(i)}}}ng {{{(i)}}}n ALMPs, wh{{{(i)}}}ch groups are well or less represented, and trans{{{(i)}}}t{{{(i)}}}on t{{{(i)}}}me to [[employment>>doc:work{{{(i)}}}ng:Glossary.Employment Work.WebHome]].
