EURES (European Employment Services)
EURES (European Employment Services) : This was established in 1994 as the successor to SEDOC (European System for the International Clearing of Vacancies and Applications for Employment), an agency established by the European Commission to operate a scheme that would permit European Union Member States to exchange information on job opportunities for migrant workers. EURES brings together the European Commission and the public employment services of the countries of the European Economic Area and Switzerland. Other regional and national bodies concerned with employment issues, such as trade unions and employers' organizations, are also included. The EURES network provides services for workers and employers, as well as citizens wishing to benefit from the free movement of persons. The service provision includes information, advice and recruitment/placing. EURES is playing an increasing role in identifying human resource surpluses and deficits in the different economic sectors, and also helps improve employability, especially of young people. It plays a particularly important role in cross- border regions. See: Education; Lifelong learning; Migration for employment; Employment services
