Week of Parallel Actions: Workshops on work

The Job Fair is accompanied by a series of parallel actions-workshops on work-related issues. From 10 to 14 February, workshops targeting different population groups, designed according to their needs, will be held.

The workshops aim to develop skills, prepare former unaccompanied minors for their access to the labour market, train workers supporting unaccompanied children, strengthen the skills of unemployed people and people aged 55+, refugees and migrants. In a society that respects human rights, everyone should have access to them – and access to work is a fundamental human right.
