Our organisation (AME) is a municipal activity with seven employees, which works to ensure that job-seekers are approaching the labor market and their own livelihood, breaking exclusion and strengthening the individual's belief in themselves.
We also offer employment places for people from eg the county council, the functional support unit and others, and is responsible for the appointment of the municipality's holiday worker.

Another part of the work is that the individuals receive personal development, self-confidence and a sense of participation.
