The European Commission organised a conference on 29-30 June 2021, as a two-day event focused on “Upskilling and Reskilling in the Post-Covid Era - Fostering New Services and Jobs Creation”. It discussed good practices, scenarios and recommendations for creating training and job opportunities across Europe.
Day 1 kicked off by a lively discussion on the European Skills Agenda and the Pact for Skills launched in November 2020. The panel aimed to mobilise all stakeholders - industry, social partners, education and training providers, public authorities at all levels and the workers themselves – to take decisive action on their future.
Day 2 was dedicated to AI and the digital transformation of industry with a focus on platform economy and innovation, including business responses and strategies. It included good practice cases illustrating a strategic vision of the way forward, integrating potential up- and reskilling scenarios on the path towards 2030.
