REBOPSE
Sustainable communities are built on trust, equal opportunity and social inclusion. They are equally dependent on innovative approaches to the development of the market in ‘green’ products and services. This project aims to address sustainability simultaneously through:
- widening access to employment opportunities (particularly for the disadvantaged) and
- improving the matching of skills and enterprise needed for the emerging green economy.
This will be achieved through the use of interlinked web-based social networks designed to extend the area of search open to job-seekers and those with employment opportunities (including voluntary and charitable work):
- By setting appropriate institutional rules (i.e. registration and membership procedures), we aim to use the potential ‘small world’ characteristics of web-based social networks to reinforce trust, confidence and social inclusion.
- By interlinking job-seeker, employer and green networks, we aim to increase the search space and diversity of choice available for members.
