A successful transition towards Industry 5.0 puts human wellbeing at the core of production in a more sustainable, human-centric and resilient European industry. Empowered workers with decision-making responsibility require the skills to do their job, and the expertise needed to use their autonomy effectively. Provided they understand the context in which they make choices and organisational needs, values and goals, workers can do things right and do the right things.

To understand better how workers develop expertise through learning, Cedefop carried out the first European Training and Learning Survey (ETLS) in 2024 in All EU Member States and Norway and Iceland. The ETLS is a unique survey among workers using a framework in which workplace features – as experienced by workers – can hinder or support expertise development.

In this virtual get together, which targets policymakers, social partners and researchers, Cedefop will present the first comprehensive ETLS findings. The event will also be a platform to discuss and share views about learning, and skills and expertise development in the workplace with key stakeholders and experts in the field.
