Outcomes
Immediate Result Indicators (IRIs): IRIs can manifest in the time span between the day the participant begins the project (their “entry date”) and any time up to 4 weeks after they leave (their “exit date”). However these results will only be counted as part of the performance monitoring process when an exit date is entered.
Long Term Result Indicators (LTRIs): The LTRI capture information on participants who are employed, including selfemployed 6 months after they have left the project. LTRIs are required to be collected by all thematic objectives, regardless of whether the relevant projects have letter of offer targets in this area.
Supported employment: Supported employment refers to employment in a regular working environment where people with disabilities or other working limitations are enabled through public support (financial or otherwise) to work alongside able-bodied employees. Supported employment covers measures that aim to promote the labour market integration of persons with reduced working capacity through supported employment. Persons with reduced working capacity refers primarily to those registered as disabled according to national definitions.
