The Community on the Role of Cities and Regions in fostering apprenticeships, led by the European Association of Regional & Local Authorities for Lifelong Learning, Fundación Bertelsmann, and the Metropolitan City of Rome, will conduct a survey, mapping cities’ and local authorities’ roles in national apprenticeships and dual learning systems. Best practice examples will be shared during each meeting. 

The Community on the Learning Mobility of Apprentices, led by Euro App Mobility, seeks to enhance European apprenticeship mobility. They engage in outreach and communication activities and plan to host thematic webinars soon after launching a LinkedIn group. 

The Community on the Green and Digital Transition, led by ESB Networks, explores how apprenticeships intersect with the green and digital transition. They will focus on topics like awareness, digital divide, and required skills. Short-term activities include sharing tools and materials, while long-term goals involve improving apprenticeships in these fields.
