MENU SEARCH EN HomeOur WorkOur expertiseLabour market insertion Labour market insertion Labour Market Insertion addresses the needs of people who are unemployed or at risk of being made redundant. It provides them with information, learning and labour market integration measures. The goal is to increase their employability and opportunities for productive wages and self-employment. In today’s fast-changing environment, anticipating the demand for skills in the future is challenging. This circumstance contributes to a growing mismatch between the workforce available and the one requested by employers. Additionally, employers often lack information about labour market trends and have difficulties to access qualified candidates. Recruitment becomes expensive and inefficient. Job seekers lack information about jobs, networks, soft and technical skills or work experience to find productive employment and self-employment. Creating interfaces between labour demand and supply Swisscontact improves the linkages between enterprises, training providers, financial service providers and job seekers. Together with our partners, we enable local stakeholders to act at the interface between labour demand and supply. We also provide the required information, counselling, linking and matching services for enterprises and job seekers. Target groups may be general or specific. Combined with vocational education and training, labour market insertion also supports school dropouts and out-of-school individuals in their social and professional integration. Our labour market activities lead to improved long-term employability and the potential for professional and personal progression for individuals, and improved business success for enterprises. This contributes to poverty reduction and resilient livelihoods. In labour market insertion projects, Swisscontact assumes the role of a facilitator and capacity builder. We catalyse innovations and bring together the relevant private and public actors to initiate change and take on ownership for delivering better and more relevant services.
