Have you ever heard of the European Year? The European Year is an awareness campaign on a specific issue to encourage debate and dialogue in and between EU countries. Many European years offer extra funding for various projects that address the specific issue. It also sends a strong political signal from the EU institutions and member governments that the subject will be addressed in future policy-making. However, the European Year doesn’t need to occur every year.
2023 is the European Year of Skills. Why this theme? Skills help people to enjoy better job opportunities as well as broader possibilities to fully engage in society. Check the dedicated website to find out how the EU aims to support skills development and recognition.
Worth visiting is also Digital skills & jobs platform where you can find free training opportunities, job vacancies and much more.
Last year was dedicated to Youth. You can read more about it here.
