is the UK government's programme that helps job seekers find work and employers fill their vacancies. It functions as a labour market intermediary, once known as a labour exchange. The programme is concerned directly with the implementation of the UK government's Welfare-to-Work policy, with its core objective of maximizing the employment rate. Equivalent labour market services are operated by governments in other developed economies.
