Job Broker partners come to town!
Rinova is looking forward to hosting the next meeting of the Job
Broker partnership in London on the 30th November and 1st December.
This will see partners from Germany, Icleand, Italy, Austria,
Cyprus and Spain spend two days at our office, reviewing the
progress of the project to date and planning the next steps.
Information about the project, which is coordinated by
Rinova, is published regularly on the project Facebook
account and the project website, as well as through partner's own
websites and social media. The project also recently
published and circulated its latest 'e-zine' which featured an
interview held by an Austrian trade magazine with our Founder, Rick
Parkes, about the Job Broker project. Certainly, a lot has happened
since we issued our last press release!
Since then, the partners met together in Berlin in January and
Larissa, Greece in July. Between those dates, the partners produced
a curriculum programme, with learning materials and piloted them
with advisory groups of Job Broker in each country. In total,
some 100 persons were involved in the pilots across Europe, which
we also supported with a Moodle-based e-learning site. The UK the
pilots were led by Rinova's Alex Walker and involved Job Brokers
from a range of organisations in London, as did the 'multiplier
event' held by Rinova in May, at which Alex and Rick shared the
results of the project to date as well as information on how to get
involved. If you would like to get involved in the next stage
of the project from early Spring 2018, when Rinova and the partners
will be trialling a 'self directed learning guide' for Job Brokers,
contact Alex on a.walker@rinova.co.uk .

The partners in each country have also held a dissemination
event, which has seen thus far more than 200 stakeholders
involved across Europe. In addition the project held a
conference in Larissa, Greece in July, which saw some 70 regional
stakeholders and practitioners, together with the transnational
partners, consider the results of the project so far and take part
in lively discussions about the European job market, supporing
job-seekers the situation in Greece and the role of Job
Brokers.

plans. A brief for this purpose has been produced and can be
