Project description DEENESFRITPL A new digital platform gets to work Increasing employment opportunities for jobseekers and improving the matching between job vacancies and workers are primary goals of EU labour market policies. At national level, one of the top policy goals is to allocate the right jobs to the right people. The EU-funded HECAT project is developing new technology to support labour market decision-making. A new user experience platform will build on existing basic algorithmic techniques used by some European public employment systems administrations to deliver labour market insights directly to unemployed citizens, and so is built on European values of open data, collaboration, transparency and citizen participation. By focusing on job quality and sustainable employment, the project will bring insight to policymakers. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Hecat aims to investigate, demonstrate and pilot a disruptive technology to support labour market decision making byunemployed citizens and those seeking to help them. At one stage or another, almost half of all EU citizens will rely on aPublic Employment Services (PES), and so this is a key touchpoint of a contemporary state and has impacts on citizen’sthinking about social cohesion, care and existential wellbeing. The ambition of the project is to improve citizen’s experienceand outcomes of unemployment by offering real-time evidence-based insight into their personal position in the labourmarket. Hecat builds on the experience and learning of existing basic algorithmic techniques used by some European PESadministrations to: - deliver labour market insight directly to unemployed citizen and so is built on European values of opendata, collaboration, transparency and citizen-participation - broaden out the focus on quantity of jobs drawn from the‘economic imagination’ to add a focus on job quality and sustainable employment - go beyond profiling the ‘stock’unemployed people, to incorporate measures of labour demand, and so take a labour market approach - go beyond theprofiling of ‘problem categories’ of citizens that current survey-data based systems use, to exploit emerging big-dataprocessing and analytics to treat each individual as a unique complex subject in a real-time and near limitless database thatleverages the insight trapped inside statistical agencies - frame the development in deep contextual insight into the originand transformation of the experience of unemployment and its administration based on anthropological inquiry - bring thisinsight into the hands of decision makers with a a platform-UX that exploits novel artificial intelligence with learningcapabilities and cutting edge, accessible visualisation and gamification techniques to support knowledge discovery anddecision making at the critical moment, as a decision support system Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencesartificial intelligencenatural sciencescomputer and information sciencesdatabasessocial scienceseconomics and businessbusiness and managementemploymentsocial sciencessociologysocial issuesunemployment Programme(s) H2020-EU.3.6. -
