Empowerment and Motivation are key drivers behind the ME-App. Many unemployed adults face psycho-social challenges like low self-esteem and health-related problems, but there is often insufficient in-person support to help them overcome these obstacles. While external support like
therapy or doctor appointments exists, it is not always consistent or comprehensive enough. The ME- App aims to bridge this gap by offering a complementary tool that can be used both during and after participation in Active Labour Market Participation Programmes (ALMP-Ps). Though many unemployed adults are familiar with using apps, there is currently no centralised tool that helps them track multiple term. Existing apps may address specific issues, but they often require users to juggle different tools, which can lead to disengagement. The ME-App is being developed to meet this specific needโallowing users to self-monitor their progress in a single platform, empowering them to stay motivated and on track toward overcoming barriers to employment.
