Boardroom Dialogue
Deep Dive into European Policy Initiatives to Upskill the Workforce
Date Thursday, Nov 23 Time –
This Boardroom Dialogue, hosted by the European Commission’s European Digital Education Hub, is a follow-up from the session Your Guide through the Future Skills Landscape: European Policy Approaches towards Digital Skills.
In a rapidly changing labour market, it is important that our work forces have the right skills, including digital skills and skills related to AI. The European Commission has several initiatives on the topic, some of which are done in the frame of the European Digital Education Hub (EDEH).
This session will allow you to connect and directly discuss with representatives from the European Commission working on the European dimension of digital education.
