Northampton to host ‘Leather is my Job’ event
15/04/2014
COTANCE, the representative body of the leather industry in the European Union (EU), launched the project in December 2013. It is working jointly on the idea with trade union organisation industriAll; together they refer to themselves as the sector’s “social partners”. The initiative has the support of the European Commission.
This regional meeting in Northampton will be a small event, with around three presentations in the morning and an open discussion session in the afternoon, with the aim of highlighting recruitment issues and sharing ideas to address these, including training and education options. The attendees will include European tanners and representatives from trade associations, unions and higher education.
