Upskilling and reskilling and the twin transition

The title of the Annual Conference of the international network EBSN, held from 26 to 28 June in Valladolid, Spain, was Upskilling and Reskilling for the Twin Transition – Digital and Green Transformation. The conference focused on basic skills and how this area fits into current development breakthroughs across Europe and the world. Key topics included changes in the labour market and the elimination of jobs due to digitalisation and the green economy – the twin transition.

Representatives from 30 European countries, all members of the EBSN, were joined by several participants from other nations, as well as from the UIL. Exciting presentations by experts are freely accessible on the EBSN website.

The SIAE, as a long-standing and respected member of the network, holds a unique reputation. As a result, both the author of this contribution and Estera Možina, MSc were invited to present our experiences related to the national publication of the PIAAC survey results in 2016. The second round of the survey will be published at the end of this year, and other member countries are keen to prepare well for it. Experience has shown that without solid media support and expert communication of the results, there is little national impact, even when the results might call for immediate action.
