This event, organised by the EESC's Permanent Group on Immigration and Integration, aims to explore policies, strategies and best practices for enhancing labour market integration of vulnerable migrants. By including perspectives from institutional stakeholders, think thanks, social partners and civil society organisations we will examine how to ensure that vulnerable groups of migrants can contribute meaningfully to the workforce while securing their dignified livelihoods.
The EESC stresses that the success of the Union of skills depends on effective and cooperative governance, adequate financing, and inclusive representation of social partners, national authorities and other stakeholders, including civil society organisations, teachers and learners. This opinion points at the importance of tailored support for SMEs and for women and disadvantaged individuals. It calls for improving the quality, inclusiveness, attractiveness, effectiveness and accessibility of vocational education and training and adult learning, and to make Europe more attractive to global talent. It asks that recommendations on education and skills be fully integrated into the European Semester process.
