Skills and competence to overcome the crisis

Skills and competence drive change and innovation in our economies and help make our societies more equitable and inclusive. A clear skills strategy is therefore imperative if we are to move successfully towards recovery and beyond.

 

Such a strategy should look beyond immediate needs. We will need to take long-term trends and challenges into account if we are to steer both education and training, and employment policies, in the right direction.
