Jo said;
Internationally, digitalisation of employment services is a significant and growing trend that is also moving fast. This forum is an important space for discussing emerging technologies and trends and how they can meet the needs of both candidates and employers.
Richard Alberg, Aptem Employ said;
Welcome to the ERSA Digital Forum, sponsored by Aptem Employ. We are delighted to be sponsoring this forum to bring together everyone in the employability community who has an interest in consuming technology and cares about digital and its contribution to today’s employability challenges. We look forward to meeting you at the forthcoming forums and discussing, debating and brainstorming how digital can play its part to help high volumes of jobseekers back into the workplace, both quickly and for the long-term.
