PricewaterhouseCoopers Advisory N.V. has organised its capabilities along the lines of markets and clients. For this assignment we combine our experience with the EU account and our experience in the education sector. PwC has conducted numerous studies for DG EMPL and DG EAC which deal with mobility of workers, students and apprentices. In the MoVE-iT study PwC cooperated with existing networks to identify the key obstacles to mobility in IVET in Europe. That has led to a lot of tangible (draft) products that could be disseminated to a wider audience. In this project we will be able to support the partners in the project to disseminate the developed products.
