This workshop seeks to share knowledge across countries on different examples of job matching tools including what works well and what are the challenges. The presentations on practices from different EU countries will include discussion on the objectives of the tools, the development process, challenges met on the way, current implementation and integration in the processes, as well as future plans for change and improvement.
This workshop forms part of a wider project on Modernizing the Latvian Public Employment Service. Through this project, the OECD in cooperation with the Directorate General for Structural Reform Support (DG REFORM) of the European Commission are providing technical support to the Ministry of Welfare (MoW) and Latvia’s State Employment Agency (SEA) in the context DG REFORM’s Technical Support Instrument (TSI) to harness digitalisation and thus boost their capacity to provide effective and efficient support to jobseekers, persons at risk of losing their job, and employers. This workshop will help Latvia understand what kind of digital tools for matching exist in other countries, whether such tools would be suitable for the State Employment Agency (SEA), and if so, what sort of tool would best meet their needs.
