There are labour shortages in certain professions in Belgium despite high unemployment. Shortages can be due to a lack of candidates with the right skills or candidates unwilling to work in certain conditions. Initiatives to address shortages include training programs developed in partnership with employers to address their needs, and strategies to promote careers in shortage professions. Successful examples include a logistics training program that places most graduates and coordinated efforts between companies at Brussels Airport to share vacancies and improve the region's image.

The document analyzes Slovakia's utilization of EU funds (eurofunds) between 2007-2013. It finds that eurofunds have been accompanied by jurisdictional fights and nontransparent allocation that enable corruption and clientelism. Examples of misused funds include overpriced contracts and subsidies for dubious social enterprises linked to political parties. The eurofunds also failed to achieve their goal of reducing regional disparities in unemployment. To curb corruption, the authors recommend more transparent procedures for approving fund applications and eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy.Minimum income protection in the EU: policy developments

BEIS Local growth presentation Nigel Driffield. 13.03.2017
This document examines the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on domestic employment and wages in high-tech sectors using firm-level data from 29 countries from 2002-2010. The study finds strong evidence that FDI leads to significant wage increases, especially in countries with flexible labor markets. In transition countries, the study finds some evidence of crowding out of domestic firms over the long run. The document concludes that attracting high-tech FDI places importance on education and training to develop needed skills and facilitate employment growth in these sectors.

The document discusses ways to combat high youth unemployment rates in Europe. It suggests improving basic qualifications in primary school, providing economic incentives to seek jobs or education, and creating a flexible labor market. Vocational education and training programs are highlighted as one way Denmark achieved low youth unemployment, with nearly all graduates finding employment within a year of finishing their programs. Vocational training also increased employment rates across different origins in Denmark. The document recommends education and training systems that provide young people with the basic skills companies need and promoting a mobile labor market with many job openings.EU Skills Panorama

In Spain, vocational training (VET) guidance is provided through both the education and employment systems, which coexist after a decentralization process. Within the education system, VET guidance is offered by public schools through counselors and activities to advise students on career options. The Professional Organisation of Counsellors also organizes various events and resources. Within the employment system, guidance is provided by government employment agencies and tools to promote lifelong learning, vocational training recognition, and qualifications. There are also some private companies and online platforms that provide additional VET guidance and resources.

The document discusses combining learning and working through lifelong learning initiatives in the Netherlands. It provides an example of how Rockwool, a company with 1200 employees, implemented validation of prior learning (VPL) to help employees gain qualifications and advance their careers. Through VPL and tailored education programs developed with a local education institution, Rockwool saw benefits like increased employee motivation, efficiency savings, and reduced education costs. The document also outlines national goals to increase adult education rates and discusses interdepartmental efforts between 2007-2009 to support regional partnerships and address barriers to learning and skills development for both employed and unemployed individuals.

The document summarizes an OECD report on policies to assist displaced workers in Denmark. It finds that while Denmark's early intervention policies work well for large-scale layoffs, more could be done to help workers displaced from small firms. It also recommends making unemployment benefits and early assistance more universally available, improving training programs, and incentivizing short-term jobs for the unemployed. The overall conclusion is that Denmark's system is effective but could be strengthened by expanding coverage and enhancing support for all types of displaced workers.How to better align skills and training systems with current
This document discusses how vocational education and training (VET) systems can better align skills development with labor market demands. It argues that apprenticeship systems like Germany's facilitate fast transitions to employment and encourage skills acquisition applicable to future jobs. Broad training profiles covering occupational families promote innovation, flexibility, and lifelong learning. While apprenticeships are difficult to copy, elements could be introduced, like levy systems, licensing, or regional training partnerships. Continuous modernization of training curricula is needed to reflect changing work organization and new technologies.
Career guidance as a creative process
The document discusses career guidance in schools as a creative process. It describes the CENTRES project funded by the EU to train career counselors in schools on creative entrepreneurship and career guidance. It outlines the new role of educational counselors in providing comprehensive career guidance and education to students as a lifelong process. Some of the key challenges discussed are the narrow focus of current career guidance services in schools and the need to develop students' flexibility, creativity, and entrepreneurship through innovative guidance approaches.

The document summarizes the results of applying an assessment tool to analyze the inclusiveness of entrepreneurship policies in the Andalusia region of Spain. The tool assessed policies across four areas: creating an entrepreneurial culture, startup support, support for business growth, and access to finance.
The assessment found both strengths and weaknesses in Andalusia's policies. Key strengths included the large network of support organizations and the availability of grants for new businesses. Weaknesses included a lack of business education, need for more specialized advisors, and long wait times for grants. Recommendations focused on improving education programs, advisor training, and standardizing the assessment tool.

There are three main issues related to unemployment in Transyldavia: 1) discrepancy between skills taught and needed for jobs, 2) companies hiring more qualified foreign workers, and 3) short-term contracts without job security. The European Commission could help by using the European Globalization Adjustment Fund to provide training and the European Social Fund to increase wages and job security. They should also pressure banks to offer loans to companies like Mattyl, a major employer, to help it stay in the region and create more jobs through training local workers.

The document discusses improving youth employment in Europe through better matching of vocational education and training to labor market needs. It focuses on two areas: 1) Ensuring training is informed by labor market intelligence so it is responsive to economic and social changes. This requires partnership between education, employers, and other stakeholders. 2) Ensuring quality in transnational mobility programs by preparing participants, recognizing skills gained, and involving employers. A survey found mobility increased employability, career choices, and language skills, but programs need better design and longer durations.More Related Content

This document summarizes trends in public administration reforms and workforce changes in European countries. It finds that while public employment has decreased overall due to budget constraints, countries have implemented reforms in different ways, from more employee-focused to efficiency-focused approaches. Workforces are changing as well, with more non-standard and fixed-term contracts, an aging workforce, and decreasing differences in conditions between public and private sector employees. Overall public employment remains a key challenge as countries aim to do more with smaller workforces.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

QR Secure: A Hybrid Approach Using Machine Learning and Security Validation Functions to Prevent Interaction with Malicious QR Codes.
Aim of the Study: The goal of this research was to develop a robust hybrid approach for identifying malicious and insecure URLs derived from QR codes, ensuring safe interactions.
This is achieved through:
Machine Learning Model: Predicts the likelihood of a URL being malicious.
Security Validation Functions: Ensures the derived URL has a valid certificate and proper URL format.
This innovative blend of technology aims to enhance cybersecurity measures and protect users from potential threats hidden within QR codes 🖥 🔒
This study was my first introduction to using ML which has shown me the immense potential of ML in creating more secure digital environments!
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena Syrota
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
"NATO Hackathon Winner: AI-Powered Drug Search", Taras Kloba
This is a session that details how PostgreSQL's features and Azure AI Services can be effectively used to significantly enhance the search functionality in any application.
In this session, we'll share insights on how we used PostgreSQL to facilitate precise searches across multiple fields in our mobile application. The techniques include using LIKE and ILIKE operators and integrating a trigram-based search to handle potential misspellings, thereby increasing the search accuracy.
We'll also discuss how the azure_ai extension on PostgreSQL databases in Azure and Azure AI Services were utilized to create vectors from user input, a feature beneficial when users wish to find specific items based on text prompts. While our application's case study involves a drug search, the techniques and principles shared in this session can be adapted to improve search functionality in a wide range of applications. Join us to learn how PostgreSQL and Azure AI can be harnessed to enhance your application's search capability.
