The labor market today not only demands more from job seekers but also from intermediaries, whose areas of activity are becoming increasingly complex and interconnected in terms of public-private partnerships. Experts clearly and understandably convey the expertise required at all interfaces of active labor market mediation and for preparing for roles in employment services for various target groups. In addition to foundational knowledge in all relevant fields, the book provides information on the current status of job centers, case management, and the new regulations of the Social Code within the framework of labor market reforms. This edition addresses the professional profile of labor and personnel intermediaries, considerations for the qualification of placement staff, and opportunities for cooperation.
