Forum 2019
10-11 December 2019 
Antwerp, Belgium
The 2019 Forum will bring together hundreds of local development practitioners, entrepreneurs and social innovators to share good practices about how employment and skills programmes are meeting employer demand (especially SMEs), what’s being done to help people and places catch-up, and how social innovation can be leveraged to create an inclusive local economy. Registration will open in September.
Right Skills, Right Jobs, Right Places
Unemployment across the OECD sits at 5.3% - the lowest rate in the last 20 years. The future prosperity of regions and cities will depend not only on equipping the existing workforce with the right skills, but also on successfully engaging disadvantaged groups so that they are fully contributing to local labour markets.
