The Union of Skills will support the development of our Union's human capital to strengthen EU competitiveness. A key initiative of the first 100 days of this Commission, the Union of Skills will:
- Deliver higher levels of basic skills, for example through the Basic Skills Support Scheme pilot;
- Provide lifelong opportunities for adults to regularly upskill and reskill, for example through a Skills Guarantee pilot;
- Facilitate recruitment by businesses across the EU, for example through a Skills Portability Initiative;
- Attract and retain the skills and talents needed in the European economy, for example through the ‘Choose Europe' action to attract top talent globally;
- Have a strong governance foundation, building on the new European Skills High-Level Board that will be informed by a European Skills Intelligence Observatory.
