NESA International

Supporting the Development of
Employment Services Internationally
NESA has a team of expert advisors who are able to work alongside governments and organisations providing advisory services in policy design and implementation, including marketization, capacity building, change management, business modelling, research, performance improvement and contract audits and evaluation.
About Us
SInce 1998, NESA has supported both the Australian government and local organisations to become world leaders in the provision of government contracted employment services and is an active member of World Association of Public Employment Services (WAPES) and the OECD Local Economic and Employment (LEED) Programme.
NESA’s expertise in supporting excellence in policy and programme design, implementation and practice means that we are uniquely placed to assist governments and organisations in developing or improving the delivery of local employment services, anywhere in the world.
We have an extensive understanding of the intricate relationship between government policy, community expectations and the delivery of contracted employment services.
We understand that just as every job seeker is different, so too is every job market. Whether the problem is high youth unemployment, long term unemployment, an ageing job seeker population, geographically remote communities or a declining industry base, we have the skills and expertise to assist both governments and organisations in finding the right national and/or local solution.
