A Berlino, per due giorni, 10 e 11 dicembre, 6 paesi dell’Ue, tra cui l’Italia e la Germania, sono riuniti per sviluppare un piano di cooperazione per attività mirate ad “annodare” scuole, strutture formative e imprese.

I Ministri dell’Educazione di Spagna, Portogallo, Lettonia, Grecia, Slovacchia, Germania e per l’Italia il Sottosegretario Elena Ugolini, con delega all’Istruzione tecnico-professionale, sottoscriveranno un Memorandum sull’istruzione tecnico professionale. Presenti per la delegazione italiana Laura Piatti, Capo segreteria tecnica del Ministro del Lavoro Elsa Fornero, Ivan Lo Bello, Vice Presidente Confindustria Education, Francesco Lauria, rappresentante della CISL ,Claudio De Martini, docente ordinario del Politecnico di Torino, Flavio Burlizzi, rappresentante di Unioncamere a Berlino.

Porre l’istruzione e formazione professionale al centro dell’agenda europea come volano per l’occupazione giovanile e la competitività delle imprese nel mercato globale sono tra gli obiettivi principali del Memorandum, che fa seguito agli accordi già stabiliti a Napoli, lo scorso novembre alla presenza dei due Ministri italiani Francesco Profumo e Elsa Fornero, il Ministro federale del lavoro e degli Affari Sociali tedesco, Ursula von der Leyen e il Direttore Generale per la cooperazione internazionale ed europea nell’Istruzione e nella Ricerca del Ministero Federale dell’Educazione e della Ricerca tedesco, Volker Riecke. Oltre alla firma dell’accordo sono previsti incontri bilaterali per avviare concreti programmi di lavoro di durata biennale da realizzare nel 2013-2014.
