"Counting on the best professionals, who are motivated, trained and committed to the continuous improvement, as a key factor for differentiation and competitiveness in order to achieve sustainability in the sector."

The expression new job sources (NJS), also known as employment quarries, is used in the Delors White Paper (Growth, Competitiveness and Employment. The Challenges and Ways forward into the 21st Century), to describe those job activities that satisfy the new social needs.
