The European Job Mobility Portal (EURES)
Launched in 1994, EURES is a European cooperation network of employment services, designed to facilitate the free movement of workers. The network has always worked hard to ensure that European citizens can benefit from the same opportunities, despite language barriers, cultural differences, bureaucratic challenges, diverse employment laws and a lack of recognition of educational certificates across Europe.
This web portal provides information on access to job opportunities in 32 European countries. It also promotes the cooperation amongst national employment agencies.
