Education & Training

Education and training are crucial for both economic and social progress, and aligning skills with labour market needs plays a key role in this. By the same token, under its Europe 2020 strategy to respond to the economic crisis, the EU set targets to bring the number of early school-leavers down to below 10% and increase the share of graduates from tertiary education to at least 40% by 2020. New industrial developments are demanding new technical skills. There will be a number of new jobs and tasks in industry that are not known presently. More engineers will be needed, in particular in fields like robotics, cyber security, software and hardware integration. The strong presence of technical and practical skills in educational programs will need to be updated and upgraded in order to accommodate contents to the new digital era. Additionally, education and training systems will face the growing challenge of integrating technical, analytical and soft skills training, to promote professionals capable of systemic thinking with an entrepreneurial mindset. Programming and coding skills will be increasingly high in demand in many industrial jobs. LIST YOUR BUSINESS OR SERVICES IN THIS CATEGORY HERE
