Good practice makes perfect

the purpose and value of the Employability Learning Network

The Scottish Government hosted a Peer Review in Glasgow in April 2011 as part of the Mutual Learning Programme. The event brought together ministry officials and independent experts from eight countries (Czech Republic, Estonia, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal, Serbia, Spain and Turkey), as well as representatives from DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion of the European Commission.

The purpose of the Employability Learning Network (ELN), which was presented by the Host Country, is to promote the sharing of experiences and good practices across local areas, providing practical guides and toolkits and keeping network participants up to date with a fast-moving policy context. Although it has only been in place since the autumn of 2009, the ELN has developed well over a short period of time and has received positive feedback from its users.
