UNI Europa Sport and EASE, the European Association of Sport Employers, held a conference in Brussels to discuss the issue of employability in the European Sport Sector. All three subsectors were well represented: professional sport (EU Athletes), active leisure, and not for profit sport. Agata Dziarnowska from the European Commission made a presentation that focused on the EU Work Plan for Sport 2014-17 and, specifically, the Expert Group on Human Resource Management in Sport. The main focus of the conference were the working groups on the final day where Franck Martinet (UNSA Sport), Sander Wesdorp (FNV Sport) and Jeff Reymond (EUAthletes), led their groups in discussions on how the social partners can contribute to the EC Expert Group and to begin preparation for employability (dual careers) as an issue for the European Sectoral Social Dialogue Committee.
