THE ADAPT INITIATIVE

ADAPT was one of a package of 14 Initiatives adopted by the European Commission for the period 1995-1999. Within this package, ADAPT and EMPLOYMENT were the two Human Resource Initiatives being led by the European Social Fund. The ADAPT Community Initiative aimed to help the workforce adapt to industrial change, and to promote growth, employment and the competitiveness of companies in the European Union.
