    Description
    The Confederation of Autonomous Trade Unions of Senegal (CSA) partnered with SOCIEUX+ to strengthen the capacities of its trade union leaders and representatives to address the challenges and opportunities arising from the green and just transition. Through a peer-to-peer exchange with experts from France and Belgium, participants enhanced their understanding of AI, green jobs, skills development, and trade union strategies to anticipate changes in the labor market. The activity combined interactive training, practical exercises and the exchange of European and international experiences adapted to the Senegalese context. As a key outcome, participants jointly developed the foundations of a confederal roadmap on the just transition, providing the CSA with a strategic basis for integrating environmental, social and employment considerations into its future advocacy, social dialogue and capacity-building activities. The action also promoted an inclusive approach by integrating gender equality and the realities of the informal economy throughout the discussions.

    Description
    The request from the National Agency for the Promotion of Youth Employment (ANPEJ) of Senegal supported by the Employment Direction (DE) of the Ministry of Employment, Vocational Training, and Handicrafts and GIZ Youmatch initiative aimed at promoting the soft skills-based approach in the service offer for young jobseekers. Experts from Belgium and France supported their peers from ANPEJ and DE to agree on a common definition of soft skills, to identify a set of skills most relevant for the labour market in Senegal as well as to elaborate specific tools for job counsellors. A training of trainers through SOCIEUX+ e-learning platform was conducted to enable ANPEJ and DE staff to practically apply the tools and concepts developed during the action.
