European prosperity depends on a flourishing labour market which helps both working people and employers make the most of training and skills. EU citizens have an EU-wide labour market open to them and employers have a pool of people in 28 countries to choose from. However, matching the right worker to the right job remains a challenge.

ESCO is a multilingual classification of occupations, skills, competences and qualifications, designed to help jobseekers and employers to match skills to jobs. Learners, workers and businesses will all benefit. ESCO will help everyone get more out of Europe’s labour market.
