Organised under the Spanish EU Presidency on 8 and 9 April, the conference explores how to concretely advance a comprehensive skills and jobs agenda in the framework of the Europe 2020 Strategy, focusing both on skills upgrading in line with future needs, and the better matching of skills and jobs.
At the event, the JRC Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS) illustrates the key findings of its research on the role of ICT for socio-economic inclusion of youth at risk and migrants, in support of the flagship initiative "An agenda for new skills and jobs". In particular, IPTS scientists present the key challenges in education and training, skilling and employment for three key population groups: young people; migrants and ethnic minorities and women carers, and illustrate how ICT can support in addressing these challenges.
