Study visit “Nobody is unemployable: the French Approach to Zero Long-Term Unemployment“

We are pleased to invite you to the on-site study visit “Nobody is unemployable: the French Approach to Zero Long-Term Unemployment“ which will be held on 18^th-19^th June 2024 in Nantes, France.

Join us for an insightful event in France to empower communities and foster inclusive employment practices to fight long-term unemployment. This is a follow-up event from the Webinar organised on the 18^th March 2024 and based on the study “Towards zero long-term unemployment in the EU: Job guarantees and other innovative approaches”.

The main target audience of the event are ESF+ Managing authorities from EU.

The primary aim of the event is to promote the exchange of practices against long-term unemployment at the territorial level with European actors. This is a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas, share best practices, and collaborate on fostering inclusive employment opportunities that positively impact communities.
