Jobs Network

Job networks connect job seekers, employers, and career development professionals to enhance employment opportunities and workforce development. By facilitating access to vacancies, training, and professional support, these networks promote skills development, career growth, and efficient matching between talent and job opportunities.

Existing research and knowledge can help policy makers in choosing the best way forward. In close cooperation with our partners, we have created this platform to highlight important policy challenges and show how research best can be utilised to solve them. The network focuses on three types of policy issues
