Integration of refugees and newcomers in the labour market - European Week of Regions and Cities 2018
As part of the European Week of Regions and Cities, the Flanders-Europe Liaison Agency (VLEVA) is organising an event in cooperation with the Department of work and social economy of the Flemish Government on the integration of refugees and newcomers into the labour market. Register here!
Why?
One of the country-specific recommendations of the European Commission to Belgium is that in 2017 and 2018 Belgium must ensure that the most disadvantaged groups, including people with a migrant background, have equal access to the labour market.
On Wednesday 10 October from 9.00h until 13.00h you will discover how Flanders is trying to meet this recommendation. We will also compare the Flemish case with a project from the Netherlands. The event will take place at VLEVA (Kortenberglaan 71, 1000 Brussels).
