We are pleased to share that our annual High-Level event was a success! Taking place on 17-18 June, ‘Unleashing untapped potential: apprenticeships as a response to labour shortages’ gathered experts, policymakers and key stakeholders to explore apprenticeships as a key solution to labour shortages. 

As well as recognising labour shortages as a persistent challenge for the EU, the two-day event included panels on filling labour gaps, the Youth Guarantee, guidance for apprenticeships and unlocking opportunities for adults. As day two came to a close, participants were invited to reimagine apprenticeships in Europe and exchange insights on addressing labour shortages through apprenticeships before networking at the Get Together event that followed. In case you missed it, you can catch up with the event material. 

Also taking place in June was a European Apprenticeships Network meeting which covered topics such as navigating the workplace as an apprentice, the mechanisms behind apprenticeship funding, and factors contributing to improved quality of life.
