With almost €1 million, the European Globalization Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers supports 417 in Belgium after factory closure
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.
