We’ve put together a few recommendations related to our sector to help you discover new ideas during the summer:
📖 Head, Hand, Heart by David Goodhart
A reflection on how societies value different kinds of work.
#electrification #skills
In relation to young people and #VET education, our Dutch member Techniek Nederland recently shared some good news.
More young people are choosing careers in the technical sector, and there are more interested in becoming VET teachers as well.

🌐Today is World Youth #Skills Day!
This year’s theme, “Youth empowerment through #AI and digital skills” is quite relevant for @europeon.bsky.social.
It is essential that education keeps up with new digital tools and that VET students get real hands-on experience through apprenticeships. 👨💻
🤝Climate spending will underpin Europe’s long-term competitiveness, resilience and growth
We call on the Commission to continue to dedicate at least 30% of the EU budget to climate action, alongside 62 businesses and organisations
