Abstract
The contracting-out of job search assistance and counselling to private sector service providers is a major trend in the reform of the public employment service (PES) in Europe. Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland are part of the exposed models of such a privatisation in the CEE countries, given the enthusiasm to contract-out welfare services in general, assuming that private agencies are better off to meet consumers need and less bureaucratic in the implementation process.
This paper explores the role of public employment service and private agencies of the three countries with a focus on case management to enable young third country immigrant's employment-related transition from welfare to work. Drawing on official document and scholastic text data are collected and analyse with document and content analysis technique.
The finding shows open information as catalyst to inclusive participation, delegation of authority as to tool to specify cooperation, and monitoring as guidance mechanism to enhance ethical value and accountability. They crucial role are capacity to manage taxpayer's money in time where countries are still facing financial crisis with gross domestic product deficit to enable vulnerable people's membership in the society through the delivery of suitable service to enhance aesthetic inclusion and participation in welfare sub production regimes (such as employment system and work)
