The Latvian Presidency of the EU and the European Commission organise a high-level event on the European Alliance for Apprenticeships as part of the Meeting of Ministers in charge of Vocational Education and Training (VET), European Social Partners and the Commission.
The meeting is organised in two sessions.
The main objective of the morning session is to further deepen European cooperation in VET and to identify the key priorities until 2020. This part is reserved for Ministers in charge of VET, European social partners and the European Commission.
The afternoon session will be devoted to a further strengthening of the European Alliance for Apprenticeships, which was launched two years ago in Leipzig as a multi-stakeholder initiative to strengthen the quality, supply and image of apprenticeships across Europe.
The event will include presentations of success stories and communication tools, as well as discussions on expectations from companies, business organisations and social partners and others on the next steps for the Alliance.
A number of new companies and organisations will join the Alliance by making new pledges on developing and providing quality apprenticeships in cooperation between the world of education and the world of work.
An exhibition will be organised to encourage further achievements and future possibilities in the development of apprenticeships.
Participation is by invitation only. If you are interested in participating, a request with justification may be sent to eafa-empl@ec.europa.eu.
