MS PAKT - Moravskoslezský pakt zaměstnanosti

What MS PAKT - Moravskoslezský pakt zaměstnanosti does

Moravskoslezský pakt zaměstnanosti (MS PAKT) is a Czech registered association (z.s.) founded on 1 February 2019 and headquartered in Ostrava, operating as the recognized regional employment pact for the Moravian-Silesian Region. It is constituted under the umbrella of Sdružení pro rozvoj Moravskoslezského kraje z.s. with five founding signatories: the Moravian-Silesian regional authority, the Statutory City of Ostrava, Sdružení pro rozvoj MSK, Krajská hospodářská komora MSK, and Svaz průmyslu a dopravy ČR. The organization coordinates three integrated service lines — Career Counseling (Kariérové poradenství), Schools & Companies Cooperation (Spolupráce se školami a firmami), and Data & Analyses (Data a analýzy) — and supports 120+ primary schools plus multiple secondary-school and corporate partners across steel, automotive, rail, ICT, and food sectors.

Its product surface consists of EU- and regionally-funded projects rather than commercial software products. Core platforms include the Můj život po škole online occupational information tool, the Cesta k zaměstnání interactive job-search simulator, and the Moje město v MSK web application that matches company human-capacity offers with employer demand. Active and recent projects include TRAUTOM (2024-2027, green and digital transformation skills), OKAP II (2021-2023, career guidance for secondary schools), Kompetence 4.0 (2019-2022, Industry 4.0 competency mapping), KOMPAS (2017-2022, labor market prediction), SteelCityZen (Interreg Danube Region, 9 countries, €1.8M total budget), Task Force Liberty (2024-onwards, Liberty Ostrava crisis response), and Erasmus+ staff mobility (2025-2027). The organization holds the Národní cena kariérového poradenství for 2020 and 2021 and serves as Czech national contact point for the OECD ODiCY observatory.

Revenue is non-commercial: MS PAKT is funded through EU operational programs (OPZ, OP JAK, OP VVV), national and regional government subsidies (Moravian-Silesian Region, City of Ostrava), and international programs (Erasmus+, Interreg Danube Region). All end-user services — career counseling, school-business facilitation, labor market analyses, and crisis-response support — are provided free of charge to citizens, students, schools, and employers. The go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, anchored by multi-stakeholder partnerships with regional government, employer associations, and educational institutions rather than commercial sales motion. As of the most recent data, the organization employs 31 staff, all based at the Ostrava headquarters.

Scale indicators11 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Eurochambres (Association of European Chambers of Commerce and Industry): Eurochambres is the European umbrella for national and regional chambers of commerce, engaging on EU labor mobility, skills policy, and SME competitiveness. Comparable to MS PAKT in its multi-stakeholder coordination role between employers and policy actors, but operates at pan-European level for chambers rather than delivering direct career-counseling services at regional level.
• Hospodářská komora České republiky (Czech Chamber of Commerce): The national chamber of commerce aggregates employer interests and supports skills development nationally. MS PAKT's regional chamber partner (Krajská hospodářská komora MSK) is a direct affiliate, and both organizations link employers with schools and workforce initiatives; the national body provides broader SME representation while MS PAKT delivers project-based career and workforce services in a single region.
• CzechInvest: CzechInvest is the Czech business and investment development agency, partnering with MS PAKT to provide SMEs with seminars, investment incentives, and subsidy guidance in the Moravian-Silesian Region. Comparable in its role as a publicly funded intermediary connecting employers, investors, and regional development priorities, though CzechInvest's mandate spans all of Czechia and emphasizes investment attraction rather than workforce development.
• Úřad práce ČR (Czech Labour Office): The Czech public employment service is a founding partner and active collaborator with MS PAKT across OKAP II, Kariéra po padesátce, and Task Force Liberty. Both organizations serve job seekers and employers in the same region, but Úřad práce operates nationally with statutory authority for unemployment benefits and placement, whereas MS PAKT functions as a regional coordinator and career-counseling specialist.

Regional players

• Pôle emploi (France Travail): France's national employment agency registers job seekers, delivers counseling, and administers unemployment benefits, with strong regional coordination in industrial-transition areas. Comparable to MS PAKT in providing job-matching and career services to vulnerable populations, but France Travail is a state operator with national statutory remit rather than a regional multi-stakeholder non-profit.
• Bundesagentur für Arbeit (German Federal Employment Agency): Germany's federal employment agency combines public employment services, career counseling, and labor-market data in a structural transformation context (notably in Kohleregionen/Ruhrgebiet). Comparable to MS PAKT in serving job seekers and providing career guidance during industrial transition, but operates at federal scale with statutory authority rather than as a regional non-profit pact.

Direct peers

• EURES (European Employment Services): EURES is the EU-wide job mobility portal and cross-border labor-market matching network, with which MS PAKT collaborates through its SteelCityZen and Danube Region projects. Both organizations provide labor-market matching and career guidance, but EURES operates at EU scale with standardized cross-border mobility tools while MS PAKT focuses on regional multi-stakeholder coordination.
• Svaz průmyslu a dopravy ČR (Confederation of Industry of the Czech Republic): Svaz průmyslu a dopravy ČR is one of MS PAKT's five founding signatories and the principal employer federation connecting the pact to major industrial employers in steel, automotive, and manufacturing. Both organizations operate as convening bodies that bridge employers with regional labor-market and education policy, but Svaz is national in scope and advocacy-focused, whereas MS PAKT delivers direct career-counseling and project services regionally.

Others

• OECD LEED Programme (Local Economic and Employment Development): OECD LEED is the OECD's program on local economic and employment development, of which MS PAKT is a national contact point via ODiCY. Both work on labor-market intelligence, skills forecasting, and policy evaluation in transition regions, but LEED operates as an international policy forum and knowledge hub while MS PAKT delivers on-the-ground career services in one Czech region.
• Sdružení pro rozvoj Moravskoslezského kraje (Association for the Development of MSK): The parent non-profit under which MS PAKT operates as a registered association, providing institutional framework and administrative hosting for most projects. Both organizations serve regional development in MSK, but the parent association operates as a broader regional development umbrella while MS PAKT specializes in employment, career counseling, and labor-market matching.
