Would you like to know about the skills for a sustainable human resources supply chain for defence?

Watch the video below where Dr. Gualtiero Fantoni, ASSETs+ Coordinator from the University of Pisa, presents the ASSETs+ experience at the Skills for Industry Conference, last June 29.

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is huge. Combined with the digital and green transitions, industry will undergo fundamental transformations.

New technologies are transforming the way people work and acquire new skills. They offer a great potential for the development of smart services as well as new and better jobs. In this context, there is a strong need to foster skills acquisition and promote the right to training for all.

The Conference, that took place last June 29-30, was focussed on the upskilling and reskilling challenges that the EU is facing, presented good practice cases, scenarios and recommendations for creating new training and jobs opportunities.

Aerospace & Defence Pact workshop, February 4

/in , /by

ASSETs+ will participate in the Aerospace & Defence Pact workshop organised by the European Commission, next February 4.

Aerospace & Defence Pact partners and potential partners will discuss the Commission’s support to the Aerospace & Defence Pact, the newly formed partnership under the Pact for Skills initiative, its operation and cooperation mode, examples of actions to pursue, and next steps.

Managed by the European Aerospace & Defence Association, the Pact will first put in place a skills forecasting system and a plan on how to support upskilling and reskilling on predefined areas through large scale actions supported by private and public funding. Regions will play a pivotal role in enabling such actions, in particular those financed by the Structural Funds and the Recovery & Resilience Funds.
