Annex C. Engagement

The National Skills Strategy Diagnostic Phase involved ongoing oversight and input from an inter-ministerial team (the National Project Team) co-ordinated by the Flemish Department of Work and Social Economy and composed of experts from various other departments and organisations, as outlined in the table below.

Three missions were organised between January and September 2018, including two stakeholder workshops.

The European Commission was represented at the skills strategy seminar and at both stakeholder workshops by Michael Horgan and Kasia Jurczak.
