Bolso de trabajo

Question

Hi all!

I have been looking at business websites for spanish businesses, and there's a section called 'bolso de trabajo'. Is it something to do with student progress and recording progress?

Disponemos de nuestra propia Bolsa de Trabajo a la cual todos los Alumnos que finalicen satisfactoriamente nuestros cursos podrán acceder. Nosotros nos encargaremos de hacer una selección con los mejores, que más se ajusten al perfil de persona buscado en cada caso y enviaremos una relación de posibles candidatos por la vía que usted nos indique. Envíenos los datos de su empresa y el perfil de persona buscado y le enviaremos una relación de nombres o curriculum según prefiera.

¿Qué es? What is it? I have read this information but still not sure.

Answer 1

In this case, the message is addressed to companies interested in recruiting the best students. The school will select the best candidates according to job profiles required by a company or business. The company should send the requirements needed for the position offered. The school will return curriculums or a list of names of those with the appropiate qualifications.

Answer 2

"Bolsa de trabajo" is more like "insure job"

Every collage student need this, because is a guarantee of insure job before you finish your studies.

Sorry for my bad english, I learning :D - Jonathan_Salgado, Jan 10, 2011

Hello Jonathan. One of the functions of the 'job center' or 'bolsa de trabajo' is 'job placement' or to help students be placed in a job. It's not a guarantee, nor or they assured a job. - Jack-OBrien, Jan 10, 2011

I hope that makes sense, I'm just trying to help you understand it from an English perspective :~) - Jack-OBrien, Jan 10, 2011

you´re right. your answer its more clear. - Jonathan_Salgado, Jan 10, 2011

I think I might have misunderstood you. Were you talking about an "unemployment office"? That would also be considered "un bolsa de trabajo". Sorry if I misunderstood! - Jack-OBrien, Jan 10, 2011

Answer 3

Bolsa de trabajo is a 'labor exchange' or 'job center'.

so they will put themselves on a sort of job list? Tell them the jobs they are looking for? - amyfreelance, Jan 10, 2011

In the paragraph you have quoted, AmyFreelance, it appears a training school will try to place its graduates in appropriate jobs related to their skills. - Moe, Jan 10, 2011

Yes Amy, that's exactly what most of these are. They generally function as a 'job bank' with the goal of placing people in the jobs they are looking for. Then there are the unscrupulous ones with a different goal.... - Jack-OBrien, Jan 10, 2011
