Building the Union of Skills: Education as the Foundation

On March 5, 2025 the European Commission presented its Communication for the Union of Skills: the EU’s strategy to bridge the skills gap that exists in our continent. Education plays pivotal role in closing this gap and equipping individuals – young and old – with the skills needed for a bright and prosperous future. This conference will explore how the education sector can support and drive the ambitions of the Union of Skills. The programme includes a keynote speech from the cabinet of Executive Vice-President Roxana Mînzatu, a panel discussion, and various pitches from the education field on their role in the Union of Skills. Neth-ER will also present its Position Paper on the Union of Skills – a joint effort by Neth-ER and the Dutch knowledge sector.
