The core objective of the “104 Resume Clinic” project is to alleviate the difficulties the job seekers’ encounter in finding jobs. Through engagement and adjustment with stakeholders, this study sought to understand the impacts and changes experienced by job seekers and other stakeholders in the project. By doing so, we sought to optimize the project and to expand the scope of its impact, as well as its social value and effectiveness.
To sum up this study’s survey and analysis, we found that for every NT$1 input into 104’s Resume Clinic, the equivalent of NT$4.64 in social value was created, with a sensitivity analysis result between NT$2.39 and NT$10.02. After stakeholder engagements, we noted that this project’s main impacts were on the project’s target Taker group.
After the activity, they gained confidence in job-seeking, had lessened psychological and economic stress, and had clearer career plans. As a result of the activities, the Givers gained a sense of satisfaction and an increase in empathy. Givers who were 104 employees also had additional identification with the company as a result of the company implementing this project. In addition, both Takers and Givers responded that, as a result of participating in this project, their favorability toward 104 increased. This shows the stakeholders’ sense of identification with and appreciation for both the project and for 104. Response from the stakeholders showed that the program goal achievement rate was high. We also discussed the results and the feedback from stakeholders obtained during the process with 104 and proposed some directions for further improvement.
“The contribution of US companies in Ireland goes far beyond the economic impact. US companies are also responsible for significant social transformation in their local communities and nationally by providing innovative and inclusive social impact programmes. Helping to build a fairer and more inclusive Ireland, with equality of opportunity for all, is a core value for our members and our Chamber. This Report shows how our member companies and their people bear witness to this core value. It forms an important part of our wider campaign to highlight the positive impact on society our members and their teams make.”

“This report sets out to shatter some myths about pay and value. Chief among them – and the point of the research – is to show that there is not a straightforward relationship between high financial rewards and good societal outcomes. This isn’t just an intellectual exercise – it has big implications for the way in which our society and economy are structured. Financial incentives are very powerful, and we tend to shower them on some of the professions that are the most socially and environmentally costly. This promotes undesirable behaviour, while positive activities are discouraged.”
Carmichael Centre for Voluntary Groups (CCVG) was set up in response to the expressed needs of smaller community and voluntary sector organisations. It was originally established in the late 1980s as the Community Services Project 2 , before being founded as CCVG in 1990. It is the country’s first and largest shared services centre for the community and voluntary sector, with a slogan of “building stronger charities nationwide”.
