description
Deze presentatie heb ik op een congres in Athene gegeven over de Nederlandse voorziening van arbeidsmarktinformatie, en de mogelijkheden daarmee skills mismatches te bestrijden. Het congres werd bijgewoond door onder meer de ambtelijke vertegenwoordigers van het beroepsonderwijs in de diverse EU-landen, de DG van onderwijs van de EU en veel overige vertegenwoordigers van Europese commissie, de minister van onderwijs van Griekenland. Het gaf mij ook reflectie op de Nederlandse situatie: de vele dingen waar de goed in zijn, maar ook de minder sterke punten.
