While developing young people's skills and activating them are clear public policy objectives, there is less assessment of whether skills are used effectively at work, and less consensus on the role of policy in addressing the issue. The Internet now plays a central role as social media such as Linkedln, Facebook, and Google, and new tools such as applicant tracking systems, mobile recruiting, jobs boards and career pages are increasingly used by employers and job seekers. These new channels for recruitment have opened up opportunities for companies lo inform a much wider pool of potential candidates about job opportunities and careers and for employees to make more informed decisions on finding or changing jobs.
