IS IT POSSIBLE TO INNOVATE IN JOB PLACEMENT STRATEGIES?
Developing Internal Capacities:Fundacíon Chile Model
• Labor market: a complex system (actors with high degree of autonomy/relationships are not moldable)
• Youth disconnected from these services and without ability to pay
• Weak integration of ICT in job placement services
• Information gaps that can be reduced through qualitative and quantitative instruments that capture changes in the labor market

• With respect to youth: combination of technology tools +
in person services + activities in the field reduces fears and
facilitates development of career plan. Job placement,
building on training, requires close relationship building
with companies
• With respect to professionals who provide job placement
services: lack of clear qualifications and performance
evaluation contribute to limited interaction with employers
• With respect to public and private partners: tension
between reach vs effectiveness - scale program vs
“boutique” program
