Making Inclusion Work: How work-based learning can bring excluded groups closer to the labour market.
IPPR and J.P. Morgan have commissioned a collection of case studies from across Europe looking at how work-based learning can help bring marginalised groups into the workplace.
As a result of this work we have identified a range of common themes and learning that will strengthen work-based learning programmes across Europe.
This conference, hosted in partnership with the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) will explore the learning from the collection in more detail and look at what is needed to ensure work-based learning can bring excluded groups closer to the labour market.
J.P. Morgan has supported this work as part of its New Skills at Work programme.
