Exploring solutions that work

Within the framework of the OPEN DAYS of the Committee of the Regions (CoR), the PES Group is organising on 10th October 2012 a workshop on youth (un)employment.
The workshop will present some solutions which have been successful at regional and local level in bringing young people into work and giving them a prospect. It will look at:

• the need to effectively manage the school-to-work transition by better matching young people's skills with employers' demands;
  
• the possibility to use EU funds, also to support innovative ideas that can boost quality job creation, including for young people with fewer opportunities;
  
• the necessity to provide services which can help to develop young people's entrepreneurial potential and to actively support SMEs.

The workshop will encourage participants to share their own experience and discuss the examples presented. We are looking forward to welcoming you at our workshop and to receiving your questions, comments and contributions related to the event.
