The European Commission adopted on 08 March a proposal for a Cohesion’s Action for Refugees in Europe (CARE) under the 2014-2020 Cohesion policy to provide support through cohesion funding to persons fleeing from the Russian military invasion of Ukraine.
The European Social Fund (ESF) can already in its current shape extend support to refugees and migrants, as it is the European Commission’s main tool for investing in people and for promoting inclusion into the labour market. The temporary protection directive further widens the scope of who and how soon ESF-funded actions can help persons fleeing from Ukraine, so that they can have immediate access to the labour market.

EAfA publishes 10 good reasons for SMEs to invest in apprenticeships
|
|
The European Alliance for Apprenticeships (EAfA) has published a new document titled 10 good reasons for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to invest in apprenticeships.
The publication addresses SMEs, which may not be aware of the positive aspects of hiring apprentices and may face several challenges that prevent them from becoming engaged with apprenticeships and EAfA. These include limited capacity, lack of employees dedicated to training and apprenticeships, and language barriers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new EAfA publication outlines the different benefits that apprenticeships can bring SMEs, such as improving employee retention, the introduction of new ideas and perspectives, boosting a company’s ability to innovate, and more. With these 10 important tips, EAfA also aims to inform SMEs how they can receive help and support to make the process of hiring apprentices as easy as possible.

Fit for the new digital age: the updated Digital Competence Framework (DigComp 2.2)
|
|
The European Commission has published the latest
update of the Digital Competence Framework for Citizens (DigComp 2.2), providing a common understanding
of which digital competences EU citizens need, in view of the latest technological advancements since the last update in 2016. DigComp 2.2 takes into account emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual and augmented
reality, robotisation, the Internet of Things (IoT), datafication and other phenomena, such as online misinformation and disinformation, which together have
led to new and increased digital literacy requirements.
