13 July 2017, Barcelona.- The Secretariat of the Union for the Mediterranean holds a workshop on “Boosting employability in the Mediterranean region: which role for internships? Lessons learnt and future perspectives of HOMERe UfM labelled project” on Thursday 13 July 2017 at the UfM headquarters in Barcelona.
The objective is to discuss opportunities and challenges related to the development of internships in the Mediterranean region and the specific role of the private sector in that regard.

While taking stock of the project first achievements with testimonies from beneficiaries, the workshop will shape perspectives for up scaling. Round tables will provide space for exchanging experiences on the links between internships and employment in the Mediterranean as well as on lessons learnt from difficulties faced in the implementation. Synergies among existing internship programmes will be encouraged.
