Apprenticeship: a future for Europe

At the European level, important initiatives have been launched in recent years, including the creation of the European Alliance for Apprenticeships in 2013 and the launch in 2017 of the Erasmus Pro initiative to promote the long mobility of apprentices. . It is nevertheless within the Member States that the protagonists responsible for developing learning in Europe operate. In this context, how to improve the synergies between European action and national action? Should EU technical and / or financial support for national reforms be strengthened? What are the levers to be mobilized to reinforce the mobility of apprentices and what are the obstacles faced by apprentices, businesses and apprenticeship centers? More broadly, what can be done to give a greater taste for learning in Europe?

To answer these questions, the Jacques Delors Institute is co-organizing, with the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the Foundation Acting against Exclusion (FACE), a conference that will bring together national and European stakeholders in learning and decision-makers. On this occasion will be presented the results of the citizen consultation on the mobility of apprentices organized on October 16, 2018 the house of the Compagnons du Devoir and the Tour de France, in Paris.
