The Labour and Employment Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina organized together with the Tuzla Canton Employment Service and with the support of the Youth Employment Project and the Government of Switzerland the third Forum of Employment Services on 28th March 2017 in Tuzla.  The topic of the event was Innovative Active Employment Measures.  Participants in the event have sent a clear message about the need to link active employment measures to the counselling process and to significantly improve the profiling of job seekers in order to avoid the situations where employers get free labour force financed by public funds.   At the end, a necessity of making further reforms of the education system was highlighted and in the context of adult education, it was stressed that training makes sense only if directly linked to jobs.  Information on current plans along these lines were shared by representatives of the Prilika Plus Programme, the Hastor Foundation and the BIT Centre from Tuzla.  Active employment measures must target disadvantaged groups and those who, if deprived of such measures, could not be placed in a job and as such would be at risk of becoming socially excluded.
