COVID-19 has triggered one of the worst jobs crises in memory. Public Employment Services (PES) need to find solutions to manage, control, and revive national labor markets. If not, poverty will increase, and inequalities will widen, with the economic effects felt for years to come. With more than 20 years of experience in the employment domain, WCC understands these challenges. WCC solutions enable PES, helping them to stimulate recovery and reduce the impact of the pandemic.

Established in 1996, the WCC Group is now a leading provider of advanced software solutions for ID/Security government agencies, Public & Private Employment Services, and Enterprise software worldwide. Our unique AI-driven Search & Match Platform is actively contributing to our growth in international markets. To strengthen our management team even further, we have recently appointed three new Sales VPs in EMEA, the Americas, and APAC. Their passion for the business will help drive forward WCC’s vision of continued global growth, while closely supporting our in-region customers.

We began this series of blogs looking at governments’ strategic goals in labor management, and how Public Employment Services (PES) have a pivotal role in achieving and maintaining stable employment. Subsequent blogs described PES trends and how evolving search technology helped meet challenges in the employment market. But what are the critical elements needed for an IT employment solution capable of efficiently and effectively supporting PES? WCC has the answers.

In our latest blog about labor market management and IT’s changing role in the employment sector, we focus on search technology. We examine how technological advancements can be applied to support Public & Private Employment Services. We outline how search technology has evolved over the years and how cognitive systems play an increasing role.

In our first blog in this series, we examined some of the strategic goals that governments need to have in place for Labor Market Management. In this second blog, we take a further look at the role of IT and some of the trends in Labor Market developments that have influenced WCC’s solutions for Public and Private Employment Services.

Labor market management is crucial to a thriving economy. Our blog identifies some of the primary goals and challenges faced by government agencies. We’ve designed our Public Employment Service solutions to help them achieve these goals. Ensuring they can react to rapid changes in the labor market, guide jobseekers to sustainable opportunities, and help to reduce unemployment.

EU Interoperability is a clearly defined goal of the EU. In this second part of our blog, we explore the solution presented by Amr at a recent eu-LISA Industry Roundtable in Tallinn, when he outlined a landscape in which Interoperability can be achieved using UMF. And how WCC technology can help to improve the interoperability within member states.
