What is workplace training and why is it relevant for regions?

The Policy Learning Platform is offering you a trilogy of 30-minute webinars to share insights and recommendations on workplace training and how it can help regions retain young talent and increase SME competitiveness.

Join us on 12 March 2021 for our first mini-series webinar which will take place from 10:30 to 11:00 CET. It will delve into workplace training; explain what it is and how relevant it is for regions.

What you can expect

You will learn more about this topic from a professional with first-hand experience on work-based learning and apprenticeships. He will also tell you more about recent and ongoing European initiatives on how to develop skills and bring them to SMEs. 

For example, did you know that since 2020 there is a new European Skills Agenda that puts emphasis on sustainability, resilience (i.e., COVID recovery), digital skills, SMEs and youth employment? Or that The European Alliance for Apprenticeships has been renewed with a focus on digital and green apprenticeships? These and other developments will be discussed with our keynote speaker from the European Commission.

Speaker

We have invited an expert in the field to share his experiences and recommendations with you:

• Norbert Schöbel, team Leader for Policy in Action: VET and Adult learning Initiatives (EC DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion)

• Workplace training: successful initiatives - 19 March 2021 from 10:30 to 11:00 CET.
