Reform of continuous learning

The objective of this reform is to improve employment opportunities of working age people (including those belonging to under-represented groups) by developing their skills and competences and to support the long-term growth potential of companies and the vitality of regions. The reform aims at increasing the matching between the provision of educational courses and the labour market’s needs through the following four measures:

• creating a service centre for continuous learning and employment to promote the reform’s implementation,
• creating a system for anticipating labour and competence needs,
• carrying out training programmes which support the digital transition, the understanding of new ways of working, and citizens’ ability to manage new digital tools, as well as a just transition to a carbon-neutral society,
• carrying out tailor-made training to improve the quality of guidance services, practices and tools.

The implementation of all four elements of this reform will be completed by 30 June 2025.
