As summer continues, it’s the perfect time to catch up on important developments. In July, CECIMO published a significant paper welcoming the EU Action Plan on Labour and Skills Shortages. This strategic document addresses the critical #skills gap in the #manufacturing sector—a gap that affects productivity, #competitiveness, and #innovation. The action plan, part of the EU’s political cycle for 2024–2029, sets out essential reforms for labour markets, education, training systems, and mobility policies. It highlights the need for collaboration among the European Commission, Member States, industry, and social partners to drive #digital and #green transformations in business. Key points include: 🟢Utilizing the European Social Fund (ESF ) to boost training and enhance the EU Single Market. 🔵Supporting initiatives to upskill young people and expand vocational excellence centers. 🟡Advocating for updated curricula that include digital and green skills, alongside improved apprenticeships and stronger ties between vocational education providers and employers. The paper emphasizes the need for a unified approach across all levels of government and social partners to tackle labour and skills shortages effectively. By adopting these tailored policy solutions, the EU can enhance economic potential, foster innovation, and stay competitive globally. Read the full paper to understand how these strategies will shape the future of the manufacturing sector and beyond: https://lnkd.in/e-iy_wFG
