The Sector Skills Alliances Info Day will be held on 6 December 2018 at the Borschette centre, Brussels, Belgium.

Sector Skills Alliances aim at tackling skills gaps with regard to one or more occupational profiles in a specific sector. They do so by identifying existing or emerging sector-specific labour market needs (demand side), and by enhancing the responsiveness of initial and continuing vocational education and training (VET) systems, at all levels, to the labour market needs (supply side). Read more on the action here.
