ESF (European Social Fund)

The European Social Fund (ESF) is a key financial tool used by the European Union to support employment, education, and social inclusion across member countries. It invests in projects that help people develop skills, find jobs, and improve working conditions, especially for those facing barriers such as long-term unemployment or social disadvantages. By funding training programs, community initiatives, and workforce development, the ESF aims to create more equal opportunities, boost economic growth, and strengthen social cohesion within the EU.
