Upskilling, reskilling and employing adult refugees

The event aims at supporting exchange of national experiences and discussing possible European VET and VET-related solutions that could support relocation of adult people in clear need of international protection on the European territory, favouring a rapid labour market integration and possible co-operation mechanisms between a transit country and a host country.

Discussions are expected to have both a technical and policy nature, and will be interdisciplinary with issues touching upon VET, active labour market policies and migration.

The event will bring together:

• ministerial representatives involved in policy-making in the EU and OECD countries, but also experts in ministries that directly support this process;
• representatives of the research community;
• representatives of EU and international institutions, including the European Commission, European social partners, ETF, UNHCR and ILO.
