Register today for the 2021 PES Network Stakeholder Conference: the Power of PES Partnerships, taking place online during three half-days. Choose between a variety of plenary sessions, panels or workshops:

• Wednesday 21 April (09:30-13:30): Practical Partnership responses to COVID
• Thursday 22 April (10:00-14:30): The Future Employment Service Ecosystem

With welcoming introductions from Nicolas Schmit, European Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights and Johannes Kopf, Chair of the PES Network, the event will bring together representatives of Public Employment Services (PES) with other labour market actors to discuss the latest trends and practices in the effective use of partnership working by PES.

The event builds on recent activities of the PES Network on this theme, including a 2020 PES Network publication on PES Partnership Management, which highlighted how partnership working is an evolving component of PES delivery, stressing both the need for flexible approaches and involving clients in the design of services.

In this context, the 2021 Stakeholder Conference offers a perfect opportunity to reflect and discuss with labour market stakeholders on how effective partnerships can be built, what they look like today and what they might look like in the future. All with an eye on offering the best possible support to employers and jobseekers in the future.

Please note that the working language will be English, but that interpretation will be provided during plenary sessions in French, German, and Spanish.
