Implementing Employment Service
The Public Employment Service System, as system composed by several actors, is defined by the European Commission as a key element for combating unemployment and for favoring the access of job seekers to the labour market at local, national and European level. Its functioning and effectiveness is emphasized by Project IES activities which, according to the main goal of the interregional cooperation, aims at favoring the exchange of experiences among actors of different countries and acting as actors which, thanks to Project IES results, will contribute to improve the quality and the implementation of their own regional policies. Within the general context represented by the institutional services which the Public Employment Service provide, Project IES identifies five different issues: governance, choice orientations, labour demand-supply matching and job placement, participation of unprivileged people to the labour market and promotion of the individual employability.
Through an intense exchange of experiences, carried out in different ways and according to innovative methodologies for better emphasizing the role of each partner and their different competences, the partnership, composed by actors coming from Italy, Spain, Romania, Slovenia, Germany, Austria, and Italy will be transferred information and valuable results for building a more efficient System and for providing their local customers with more useful services. Projects’ activities begin with five thematic surveys focused on the main tasks of the local institutions in different countries of Europe.  The comparative perspective will be followed by drawing five Gap Analysis guides, made to compare existing systems of partners’ countries and to create a grid through which it is decided who transfers what to whom. They will be realised by a Technical Working Group composed by  representatives of each partner and their results will be circulated in technical seminary. Its results
wil be the point of reference for deciding which experiences (in which country) belonging to the list  will be studied during the following staff-exchanges. During the mentioned phase the donor partners will be charged of transferring their experiences to receiving partners, by involving them in daily activities, training on the job, writing the draft plan of activities which will have to be realized during the following phase;  donors will also act as tutors in receiving countries by organizing  and carrying out activities to support the receiving partner to disseminate, at organisation level, the content of the guidelines in order to fill the gap between the state of the art and the practise to be transferred. TheTWG with the support of the SC will then involve locally policy makers for implementing a recommendation report.
