The German Federal Integration Guideline ESF (ESF Integrationsrichtlinie Bund) is targeted towards young adults between the ages of 18 and 35 who are experiencing multiple difficulties in obtaining access to work and training, and aims to "gradually and sustainably integrate them into work or enable them to (re-)enter school education with the aim of receiving a graduation certificate" (source: ESF Integrationsrichtlinie Bund). The 'Integration through exchange' section of the program (Integration durch Austausch, IdA) aims to realise this objective by means of transnational, participant-oriented mobility programs.
