his last edition of the bulletin presents examples of the higher education-based upskilling and reskilling offered by higher-education in EU and non-EU countries.

The bulletin also proposes 4 action areas:

  • setting system-wide strategies: developing national strategies to guide higher education institutions and foster an environment conducive to delivering upskilling and reskilling opportunities in alignment with labour market needs.

supporting provision: devising policies to encourage the provision of responsive and high-quality upskilling and reskilling opportunities in higher education.

  • attracting and supporting learners: enhancing participation in upskilling and reskilling by overcoming the main barriers to attracting and supporting learners.
  • securing industry and employer engagement: strengthening partnerships with business and industry to ensure upskilling and reskilling provision in higher education is aligned to real skills needs.

The conclusions of this bulletin aim to encourage dialogue and advance understanding of the competencies that help trigger and shape innovation for the digital and green transitions.
