    Description
    The Costa Rican Ministry of Labor (MTSS) and the National Employment Agency (ANE) partnered with SOCIEUX+ to professionalize their National Employment System (SNE). With expertise from France and Spain, the action aimed to improve the quality and relevance of public employment services by addressing institutional fragmentation and structural labor gaps Key results include a comprehensive gap analysis comparing the SNE with international models, the creation of standardized job descriptions (RPT), and a strategic capacity-building plan featuring a new staff certification system. A significant achievement was the systemic integration of gender equality; the action introduced innovative methodologies, such as "Family Conferences", to address the care economy as a structural barrier to women’s employment. These results provide a technical roadmap for institutional strengthening, ensuring more efficient, inclusive, and user-centric employment services for job seekers and companies across Costa Rica.
