Don’t miss out the chance to join the first ever European Year of Skills Festival! The event will take place on 9 May 2023 and is organised by the Pact for Skills.

The European Year of Skills Festival will put skills in the spotlight by linking various skills-related activities taking place on that day across Europe. The event is the perfect opportunity for companies, vocational training providers and other stakeholders to raise awareness about the important role of apprenticeships in upskilling and reskilling young people and adults.

The festival is one of the many activities and initiatives in 2023 that the European Commission has planned to celebrate the European Year of Skills.
