Response to European Year of Skills 2023

14 Dec 2022

Schuman Associates welcomes the proposal to designate 2023 as the European Year of Skills and values the opportunity to participate in this open consultation. The EU Year of Skills provides an exceptional opportunity to underline the importance of developing new talent and supporting the transition of the workforce through up-skilling and re-skilling to enhance European productivity, innovation, and competitiveness. The timing of the European Year of Skills is excellent at the start of the seven-year EU funding cycle. This will give added impetus and visibility around the skills challenges and innovations/solutions and eventually mainstreaming of these solutions to meet the increasing demands in the employment market of the future through various funding instruments such as ESF+, ERDF and Erasmus+, Digital Europe Programme, etc. Schuman Associates, as a European consultancy, based in Brussels with staff established across ten EU countries, and partners throughout Europe, is very supportive of this initiative. Schuman Associates will therefore strongly promote the EU year of skills through its own network of partners and clients and will share best practices and experiences with EU stakeholders to support actions and initiatives around lifelong learning and the development of skills, in line with the overall objectives and priorities of the European Union.
