In 2022, the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen announced the European Year of Skills. On the initiative, President von der Leyen said: “We need much more focus in our investment on professional education and upskilling. We need better cooperation with companies, because they know best what they need. And we need to match these needs with people's aspirations. But we also have to attract the right skills to our continent, skills that help companies and strengthen Europe's growth.”
The European Year of Skills is an EU initiative that puts skills at the centre-stage with the purpose of helping people to get the right skills for quality jobs. Moreover, it aims at helping companies – in particular, small and medium enterprises – address skills shortages. Throughout 2023 and until May 2024, the European Year of Skills will promote a mindset of reskilling and upskilling, helping people to get the right skills for quality jobs, through a series of targeted initiatives and events.
The EU Academy is an obvious partner to the European Year of Skills as it is already very active in promoting the development of new skills in the area of policy and programme implementation through high-quality pedagogical content created by the EU. By July 2023, it counted with more than 1,000,000 enrolments in its courses. Through its partnership with the European Year of Skills, the platform will contribute actively to the success of the initiative, in particular with regards to the development of professional policy-relevant skills.
