LIT - Lifelong Learning: European Globalisation Fund

The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund EGF provides personalised measures and supports for a limited period of time to eligible workers who are directly affected by redundancies caused by the adverse effects of globalisation. The measures and supports financed under the fund, aim to help redundant workers prepare for alternative employment.

Eligible workers must have been in employment with the companies in question at the time of the announcement and made redundant no later than 31st January 2010.
