    • Background

    This webinar event brings together representatives and officials from Public Employment Services from varied national policy and labour market contexts to discuss their practices, challenges, and achievements in ensuring quality services in line with international standards and fair recruitment principles, and ultimately access to decent work opportunities for all. The objectives of the exchange are to highlight the role of PES in promoting fair recruitment principles and in relevant labour conventions, and to inspire stakeholders into taking practical action.

    The facilitation of access to decent work through fair recruitment notably in the context of safe and regular labour migration entails that employment services effectively engage with employers as well as with jobseekers, and that employment service providers manage information and coordinate effectively across borders. These topics will be examined during the webinar through an exchange of experiences from PES officials from a range of countries and functions.

    The knowledge exchange meeting is hosted as a public event, open to all participants invested in promoting fair recruitment, in particular representatives from PES, PREAs and other actors involved in labour market functions, as well as social partners.

    Interpretation will be available in French and Spanish.
