In an era characterised by vast unemployment it is widely believed that certain categories of people are essentially 'unemployable'. In most Western European countries, for instance, immigrants and other minority groups are considered to belong to the 'hard core' unemployed. While standard methods of the employment service have largely failed in assisting such individuals, a new method has been developed in the Netherlands referred to as the 'tailor-made' method. This article summarises research findings on the characteristics and suitability of this method. The findings contradict the myth of the 'unemployable' people
