The webinar highlighted ESCO's policy objectives, its main use cases and two concrete showcases: the use of ESCO skills in connecting with learning outcomes of qualifications and a EU-wide digital skills and competences assessment tool.

Stakeholders' main interests revolved around digital skills and self-assessment tools, the updating cycle of ESCO and how the taxonomy can be useful in linking national qualifications with the labour market.
