One of the changes within the act aims to simplify access, but especially the stay of foreigners from third countries on the labour market. If a foreigner needs to renew his residence permit for the purpose of employment for the same job, a so-called labour market test will not be required. Other changes include the updated definition of a sheltered workshop, and the establishment of the Alliance of Sectoral Councils, to help increase the relevance of study programmes based on the needs of the labour market. The Labour Ministry, the Education Ministry, employers and trade unions will form the Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read on:\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fspectator.sme.sk\u002Fc\u002F23109488\u002Fslovakia-helps-foreigners-on-jobs-in-short-supply.html\"> in English.\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For more information, please contact Paul de Beer or Oana Ciuca, De Burcht (Scientific Bureau for the Dutch Trade Union Movement) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:p.t.debeer@uva.nl\">p.t.debeer@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Mehmet Koksal \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mkoksal@etui.org\">mkoksal@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
