Summary
Projects under Topic 3 address the adult learning sector. These projects support the implementation of the principles and objectives of the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan, the European Skills Agenda and in particular the Council Recommendation on individual learning accounts, the initiative on the Pact for Skills and the Council Resolution on a new European agenda for adult learning 2021-2030.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals submitted under this topic must address one of the following priorities:
Priority 6: Joining forces to reskill workers
Projects under this priority will identify and test methods and mechanisms to bring together public and private players to help employed and unemployed workers reskill for new tasks or into new jobs at scale, including in particular initiatives for reskilling workers from declining sectors into the green and digital economy.
Partnerships should focus on developing ways to increase participation of adults, especially the up- and reskilling of in-transition-workers, unemployed or inactive people, from sectors in decline to sectors that are growing and in need of more workers with skills for the green and digital economy. The output would be to develop standardised practices of partnership models for the cooperation of companies, together with public players, to improve up- and reskilling from declining sectors into the green and digital economy. Specific attention should be paid to the needs of lower skilled and vulnerable individuals, as well as those who are the most reluctant to engage with training activities in adult age.
Priority 7: Supporting the Pact for Skills
The Pact for Skills is an engagement model for addressing skills challenges and deliver on the EU Industrial Strategy, and the green and digital transitions. It aims to further address skills gaps throughout industrial eco-systems by mobilising companies, workers, national, regional and local authorities, social partners, industry organisations, education and training providers, chambers of commerce and employment services to invest in upskilling and reskilling actions.
This priority aims at supporting existing regional partnerships (partnerships at the level of one region within a country or involving more than one region, within one or more countries) under the Pact for Skills to organise and implement action to deliver on their concrete commitments to invest in training for people of working age.
Projects under this priority should therefore include only registered members of regional partnerships under the Pact for Skills, including regional and/or local authorities.
