Chabhraigh an Ciste Eorpach um Choigeartú don Domhandú le 13,000 oibrí a dífhostaíodh chun athoiliúint a dhéanamh agus poist nua a aimsiú

According to the 2021-2022 tuarascáil gníomhaíochta de na European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF) published today by the Commission, during the period of reference the EU allocated €51.8 million from the EGF to help over 13,000 displaced workers and self-employed people retrain and find a job.

The Commission received requests from nine member states (Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands, and Finland), with EGF funding mobilized in all 14 instances where support was requested.The largest numbers of affected workers were active in the air transport and automotive sector, followed by the warehousing and support activities for transportation sector. Most workers who received support lost their jobs due to the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The measures co-funded by the EGF were instrumental to help them re-train, for instance in digital skills, prepare for new employment opportunities through mentoring, career guidance and job search assistance or to set up their own business. In some cases, workers also received allowances to participate in training. Since 2014, the EGF has maintained an average reemployment rate of 60% across all mobilization cases, highlighting the EGF's value in supporting displaced workers.

Through its funding for targeted training and other support measures for the reintegration of dismissed workers, the EGF contributes to the EU's efforts to support skills development, especially in the context of the Bliain Eorpach na Scileanna. Since 2007, the EGF has made €688 million available in 177 cases of mass redundancies, assisting almost 168,000 displaced workers across 20 Member States.
