UNI Europa Commerce and EuroCommerce have launched the Sector Council for employment and skills which brings together the main actors in employment, training and education to coordinate skills anticipation and labour shortages in the commerce sector.

The commerce sector will adapt to the current changes in the market by adjusting, modernising and improving the efficiency of its education and training to reflect the needs of its workers and its companies.

The Skills Council will initially comprise of a small group of Member States but will be opened to new members once it is up and running. It benefits from Commission funding and, so far, has received strong support from the European Institutions.

UNI Europa and Eurocommerce are calling for experts to organise the first year of activities of the European Skills Council for Commerce. You will find all relevant documents to reply to the call for tender in the related files.
