On Friday 24 January European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and Vice President Neelie Kroes met with CEOs from across the global economy together at the World Economic Forum in Davos to deepen and widen the network of corporate support for the Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs.
With EU unemployment hitting record levels and forecasts of a grim economic outlook for the months ahead, the Commission has come forward with a set of concrete measures to boost jobs.
The Initiative is a set of measures, planned for 2012 and 2013, to drive down youth unemployment. It is part of the EU's Youth on the Move education and employment initiative.
