Subcomponent 2.1: Strengthening SES’s capacity to deliver employment services.
This subcomponent would help improve SES’ capacity to perform its core tasks in the employment service delivery chain, including profiling of registered job seekers to allow improved targeting of services, delivery of job search assistance services, counseling, job matching and referral to appropriate employment programs. This subcomponent would also support SES in improving its outreach to employers, collect more vacancies, but also to provide specialized hiring services for firms. Profiling will be built on administrative data, in coordination with ongoing data management efforts in MLSPP and SES; this activity will include the procurement and implementation of data analytics software, as well as capacity building in MLSPP and SES. In conjunction with the introduction of a new profiling system, guidelines will be developed as to what kind of support jobseekers with different characteristics (such as age, education, length of job search, TSSA participation) will require; and which type of ALMP works best for what kind of jobseeker.
Component 3: Project management / monitoring and evaluation
