Seminar organised jointly by Cedefop, Eurofound and the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC)

On 19 November 2015, Cedefop, Eurofound and the EESC are organising a joint event in Brussels entitled: Work organisation and workplace learning: Creating a win-win environment which we are very pleased to invite you to attend.

The half-day seminar will be an opportunity to present the two EU agencies’ recent findings and initiatives on work organisation and workplace learning, including the results of Eurofound’s Third European Company Survey and Cedefop’s European Skills and Jobs Survey. It will bring together policymakers, academics, practitioners and representatives from national authorities, European institutions, enterprises and trade unions to explore and debate work organisation and skill development practices that benefit both employers and employees.

The event is also a chance to mark the 40 year anniversary of Cedefop and Eurofound – the two longest established EU agencies – and to recognise the EESC’s strong tripartite role in EU policymaking. Both agencies are tripartite organisations with a governing structure of employers, trade unions and governments. Keynote speakers will include: Nicolas Schmit, President of the Council of EU Employment Ministers, and Gonçalo Lobo Xavier, Vice‑President, European Economic and Social Committee (EESC).

If you have any questions regarding this event please contact Ana Dumitrache by e‑mail (ana.dumitrache@eesc.europa.eu) or by telephone (+32 (0)2 546.81.31).

The European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop) supports the development of European vocational education and training (VET) policies and contributes to their implementation. The role of the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) is to provide knowledge in the area of social and work-related policies. The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is a consultative body of the European Union.
