Digital Skills
During the 2021 State of the Union address, the president of the European Commission announced investments in digital skills. The importance of investment in skills “that help companies and strengthen Europe’s growth” was also reiterated in the 2022 SOTEU, proposing to make 2023 the “European Year of SkillsEN•••”.
The European Year of Skills officially began on 9 May 2023 and will run for 12 months, supporting skills-related actions and initiatives across Europe, and bringing together workers and businesses with the common goal of creating fairer and more resilient societies.
