ETOA’s community can influence practice and product in Europe’s source and destination markets, affecting long-term sectoral resilience. There is a growing industry of specialist providers supporting sectoral transition, but we recognise that solutions for some might be problematic for others. This hub is designed to help time-poor professionals get informed and understand what is driving change, explore options that might suit their organisation, and find support for implementation. Comment and contributions welcome.
