The WAPES vision
WAPES is a support and cooperation body for PES. It is not a legal governance body. In order to build a solid common base for SPEs worldwide, WAPES gives priority to a common strategy and charter of values. Thus supporting them in fulfilling their mission of making the labour market function optimally along the lines of their specific context. WAPES is a platform for knowledge and communication, and a passionate advocate of change.
Who are we?
WAPES makes all the difference in the ever-changing world of employment. We encourage the exchange of good practices between the different actors of the labor market and employment.

All activities carried out should contribute to achieving the objectives of WAPES and enable it to become an active partner on the world stage, a platform for learning and knowledge development, and a supporter of capacity building for its members.
