Access to the local job opportunities for skilled workers and artisans using the national digital ID

Skilled people in construction, public works, and the artisan sectors struggle to find steady work. Masons, carpenters, and mechanics travel daily to search for jobs, which wastes time and reduces income. The proposed use case is a digital platform that links workers with employers. A worker creates a verified profile through their national digital ID. The profile shows skills, rates, and location. Similarly, employers and individuals post job requests through their national digital ID-linked profile. They can also view nearby workers and contact those with the required skills directly. This platform improves job access and reduces daily uncertainty. It also builds trust through verified identities. Local skills become visible, and workers gain a more consistent income.
