Workers dismissed in Belgium after the closure of chip manufacturer BelGaN are set to benefit from EU support through the European Globalization Adjustment Fund (EGF). The €930,000 proposal, adopted today, would support 417 people in returning to employment. The funding will help the dismissed workers through measures such as counselling, vocational orientation, job-search assistance, and skills training.

Since 2007, the EGF has intervened in 183 cases, allocating €709 million to provide help to more than 172,000 people in 20 member states.

A press release is available online.
