As European students are easing back to (physical or virtual) class after the summer break, the #CedefopPhotoAward returns for a sixth year to give vocational education and training (VET) learners a chance to have some fun and win amazing prizes.

Cedefop Executive Director Jürgen Siebel shared insights from the agency’s work regarding digital upskilling and reskilling in the European Union at a roundtable discussion organised by the Greek Ministry of Digital Governance on 11 September, in the context of the 85th Thessaloniki International Fair.

High quality and inclusive continuing vocational education and training (CVET) is a priority for the next decade, and skills intelligence fit for the future is essential to achieve this goal.

Effective career guidance helps individuals reach their potential, economies become more efficient and societies become fairer. This is the point driven home by a leaflet co-produced by Cedefop, marking World Youth Skills Day 2021.
