    Pact for Skills helped train 3.5 million workers

    At the Pact for Skills Forum recently held in Brussels, key results from the annual survey on the Pact on activities over last two years were presented.

    More than 3.5 million workers received training from 2,500 orga­ni­sa­ti­ons under the Pact for Skills in 2022 and 2023, as the recently published survey demon­stra­tes. Furthermore, the survey revealed that the Pact helped update or develop 48,000 training pro­gram­mes, with members con­tri­bu­ting €310 million. More than 81% of Pact members surveyed believe the Pact is extremely bene­fi­ci­al to their skill deve­lo­p­ment efforts. Members of large-scale skills part­ner­ships that are part of the Pact reported improved moni­to­ring and anti­ci­pa­ting of skills in their sector (80%), higher quality (75%), and volume (73%), and made skilling acti­vi­ties more inclusive (76%).

    Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights, Nicolas Schmit, and Commissioner for Internal Market, Thierry Breton presented the survey’s key findings at the first Pact for Skills Forum “Unlocking skills potential across Europe” on 21–22 March 2024. The event brought together poli­cy­ma­kers and industry prac­ti­tio­ners to exchange best practice and recom­men­da­ti­ons for bol­ste­ring the long-term impact of the Pact. From 3s, Stefan Humpl and Daniel Unterweger supported the event and moderated panel dis­cus­sions and thematic workshops as part of 3s role in the Pact for Skills Support Services.

    The full report of the survey and its complete quan­ti­ta­ti­ve results available here.
