Launch event: European Alliance for Apprenticeships

The European Alliance for Apprenticeships is launched in Leipzig on 2 July and aims to increase the quality and supply of apprenticeships across Europe and change mind-sets towards apprenticeship-type learning. This would facilitate a smooth transition of young people from education to work.

The launch event begins with opening remarks by the German Federal Minister for Education and Research, Johanna Wanka followed by opening speeches by Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, László Andor and Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, Androulla Vassiliou.
