After the first Talent Talks dedicated to the general dynamics of the Brussels labour market, this second edition focuses on a key issue: the professional integration of young people. 

How can companies make a difference?  

In a context of growing tensions on the labour market and with an ever-increasing number of young people far from employment, this second Talent Talks offers a strategic insight for companies: how can they recruit and retain the talents of tomorrow, particularly among young people with more fragile backgrounds?

This event is part of Talent Talks, a series of gatherings designed to connect businesses, experts and innovative initiatives, and thus strengthen the Brussels employment ecosystem.

It takes place in the afternoon from 2 - 6 pm, and is followed by a networking drink.

The event will be held in French and Dutch.
