ICON-INSTITUT is assisting the European Commission in enhancing the co-operation between Public Employment Services (PES) in the 27 EU Member States, Iceland and Norway, through activities that are meant to foster this co-operation. Thereby, quality and quantity of the PES on the ground throughout the Union will be improved, in line with the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy.
The main subject of this project is the continuous implementation of the Benchlearning initiative in its 3rd cycle that is supported by ICON-INSTITUT. Benchlearning is an innovative concept to define evidence-based learning by combining quantitative and qualitative benchmarking, mutual learning and support to implementation of good PES practices. In order to provide evidence for recommendations to the Public Employment Services, an assessment of the PES performance and a comparative analysis of PES data is conducted.
As from 2021 we regularly publish episodes of the PESPod (click to hear the podcasts of the PES benchlearning project https://www.pesnetwork.eu/podcast/).
