The goal of Emma at Work is to grow up to 5,000 young people who they support and that on a national base instead of a regional one.
In the past the consultants of Emma at Work manually kept up-to-date cards with data from young people and vacancies from employers. These have been matched manually. A time-consuming work and not feasible for the number of young people that Emma at Work strives for.
The goal of 5,000 young people means 20 times the number Emma at Work is supporting before starting the project. On top of that the number of employers and vacancies will increase also. It is obvious that at this scale support, especially the registration and matching part, can not be executed manually any longer.

Solution: The objective is to develop a contemporary tool in which young people can enter their profile and this is automatically linked to consultants and matched with vacancies at employers.
It is Emma at Works’ wish that the Application supervises and monitors these processes. In addition to this need, the tool is intended to provide support in the form of tests for young people, coaching and coaching of young people by coaches and volunteers.
Basically the application is a combination of the well known platforms LinkedIn, for the young people, and Indeed, for the employers with their vacancies. The advantage of the application is the automatic matching process bases on common data.
