The Integrated Knowledge Management System (IKS) project is delivering a new, joined up Management Information System (MIS) for Skills and Employability across the region.

The purpose of the Labour Market and Evaluation (LMAE) project is to develop the regional labour market intelligence capacity around patterns of demand and supply, to ensure that the education and skills system within the region can respond to both the needs of individuals wishing to enter and progress through the labour market, and employers who seek to address skills shortages and gaps.

This enabling project aims to coordinate and improve the employability and skills service offer to employers which in turn will present opportunities to the citizens of the ESES region.
