Horizontal Policies
There are three Horizontal Policies at the EMF: Training & Education, South-Eastern European Forum & Baltic States and Equal Opportunities.
Training & Education
Competence development and lifelong learning are central elements of an integrated EMF approach to developing employment, employability and competitiveness in the European metal industry. Education and training have also become a central element of the anticipation of change in the manufacturing industry in Europe.
Lifelong learning is a horizontal approach linked to industrial policy, collective bargaining, social dialogue and company policy.
Youth activities
There are specific labour market and industrial relations conditions with regard to young people that make them distinct from other groups of workers, mainly as regards precarious employment.
