B-WISE Final Conference – Brussels, 13 & 14 November

B-WISE aims to bridge the digital skills gap in the Work Integration Social Enterprises (WISEs) sector. In particular, the project targets the skill needs of disadvantaged workers, their support staff (e.g. job coaches), and managers, helping to increase awareness of digital technologies as well as the WISE sector’s attractiveness as a career path. The conference will dive into how B-WISE has addressed these needs to provide cross-European yet localised approaches to skill development, both in terms of soft and digital skills. The event will serve as a platform to discuss the implementation of the European WISE Skills Strategy, and offer policy recommendations. Moreover, participants will discover the tailored training materials developed by the project to enhance the integration of workers with support needs. The conference will take place on 13 November, from 9:30 to 18:00, at the European Economic and Social Committee in Brussels.
