Key terms
- Workforce service.
- Employment placement (job placement). A service of placing a worker into a job. That job can be some work within the same organization or in another one. A business that employs workers to temporarily work for another organization is commonly called a temp agency and those workers are referred as contingent workers. In many countries, the governments regulate and, in few countries, ban those businesses that place workers into jobs in other organizations for a fee. In some countries, the governments support or even subsidize those organizations that place special categories of workers, especially the disabled, into jobs. This practice is called supported employment. Educational institutions may place their students into jobs as a part of their learning. This learning is often called residency training. Some educational institutions place their graduates into work as a hidden fee for education.
