The changes taking place in the labour market and the funds allocated for an intervention on it, require permanent monitoring and analysis. In this paper I present an analysis of all the methods and instruments of labour activation implemented in the Wielkopolska Voivodeship in 2015 and financed from the Labour Fund and the European Social Fund. During this period, expenditures on these activities increased by 13.5% and covered 36% of all those registered unemployed. These forms of labour activation are supplemented with support of the unemployed and job seekers within Priority Area 6 of the Regional Operational Programme for Wielkopolska, which is co-funded by the European Social Fund. Priority Axis 6, named “Labour market”, covers six initiatives of activation, which support professional activity in the current financial perspective, and the total amount allocated is 311 737 921 PLN.
