The European Network of Cities for Apprenticeships has been launched

date:  17/09/2020

Stakeholders from 14 Cities joined an online meeting to launch the European Network of Cities4Apprenticeships on 11 June.

The meeting discussed the organisers’ goals and aspirations for the Network. The main aims and objectives of the network are:

  • Involving and activating stakeholders in innovative and/or high social impact actions at local level
  • Strengthening the policies and interventions of metropolitan cities creating a link between active labour policies and sustainable development in the territory
  • Encouraging development of ‘green skills’ as well as digital skills in apprenticeships
  • Developing and implementing redevelopment courses capable of responding to often very rapid job-market changes, with a view to improving working and social life
  • Supporting training as a driver for innovation and sustainable and fair urban development.

The next step of the Network will be to create working groups that will allow members to come together and work on projects.
