Eurociett and the ILO training center are to contract an external expert to carry out a European project

 

The project is conducted by the Employers’ Programme of the ITC ILO in cooperation with Eurociett (European Confederation of Private Employment Agencies), the EU level organization representing the employers of the agency work industry, and its member organizations.

 

The general objective of the project is to assist Employers’ Organizations (EOs) of the agency work industry (Temporary Agency Work - TAW) in developing strategies, tools and the skills needed to strengthen their capacity to effectively engage in policy development and social dialogue, both at national and EU level.

 

In order to achieve these aims, a number of training and capacity-building activities will be organised (see detailed work programme). For these activities to be successful, specific and tailored background material need be developed. The work of an external expert will be instrumental in order to substantiate and prepare the discussions of EO representatives and company leaders, allowing maximizing learning and experience sharing during the workshops.

 

The work of the external expert will contribute to achieving the following project objectives:

1. To raise awareness on the framework and recent developments of the TAW regulation and social dialogue at EU and International level;
2. To increase, for participants involved in the workshops and seminars, the interest in, and awareness of, the crucial role that they can play in general and sectoral social dialogue while taking part in sector-level EOs;
3. To increase understanding of the challenges currently facing the industry and of the consequences of the various EU and national policy initiatives impacting on the sector’s competitiveness.
