Event Description
On April 10th, educators, policy makers and industry leaders will gather to discuss how to empower youth and close the skills gap to boost competitiveness and innovation across Europe.
’Skills for the Future’ – an initiative by Junior Achievement-Young Enterprise (JA-YE) Europe and Hyundai Motor Europe – aims at fostering a discussion between EU bodies, industry and education institutions on how to empower youth and close the skills gap to boost competitiveness in Europe. Investing in skills and training is of utmost importance to Europe's ability to innovate, drive sustainable growth and enhance workforce readiness. As economies evolve, workforces need to evolve. The link between industry, education and policy makers is a critical success factor if we are going to prepare Europe’s youth and equip them with 21st century skills.
