2023 will be the European Year of Skills

The European Commission adopted the proposal to make 2023 the European Year of Skills. This initiative stems from the challenges and opportunities brought to the labour market by the digital and green transitions, which call for new skills of the workforce. The European Year of Skills aims at boosting competitiveness, investment in training and upskilling opportunities to make sure that workers acquire the skills demanded on the labour market, including digital skills. According to Eurostat, right now only 37% of adults follow training on a regular basis, and many of them lack basic digital skills. The initiatives will also focus on the activation of more women, young people and vulnerable groups on the labour market.
