Skills council to hold second event in Brussels

25/10/2012
A conference to discuss a project to promote skills in the leather sector across Europe will take place near Brussels on December 12.

This conference, organised by a special Skills Council for the textile, clothing and leather (TCL) sectors in the European Union (EU), will be the second event on this subject.

The European Skills Council was created in December 2011 to take steps to bridge skills gaps in the three industries. It is an initiative of representative bodies COTANCE, Euratex and the trade union organisation formerly known as ETUF-TC. It is supported by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities.

Members of the body also include representatives from Italy, France, the UK and Belgium who were already working to boost skill levels in their own countries.

The first official meeting of this council was in April in Bologna. The December event in Brussels will provide an update on progress since then on collecting data, exchange initiatives and other activities.

Each of the three industries will present separate reports and the organisers aim to agree a set of recommendations as one of the outcomes.
