Favourite Sites

With the exception of the link to Clive's website, all of these links relate to ELM course and should help to reduce wasted time in scouring over the internet. A lot of them are EU ones, but as the EU website is so notoriously difficult to navigate, I thought I'd help out with some course specific links.

Clive's Website

Clive has a really good set of links, and is definitely worth a look. Don't go into the gallery though, as it has some
really scary pictures

Europa

This is the EU's information gateway and often a starting point.

DG05

Director-General 05 - this is the part of the commision with responsibility for social and employment affairs and its website has on it the National Action Plans for Employment, which will be needed for unit 1 and throughout the course.

Employment Updates page

Here they have put links to all commission reports relating to employment.

Some useful papers especially the section on occassional social papers, but in general not very useful as the site is very commercial and they seem to more interested in getting you to buy their reports than they are about diseminating information.

OECD

EURES

Standing for the EURopean Employment Service, this site contains information about the Public Employment Services in each country and Regional Partnerships and also has information on Labour Mobility
