[Ticker] EU Commission sets up skills agenda for next five years

The EU Commission presented on Wednesday the EU's Skills Agenda which sets quantitative objectives for up-skilling and re-skilling within the next five years. It is based on 12 actions that aim to ensure that people have the skills needed for the changing labour market in the green and digital economy. To implement the agenda, the EU will need around €48bn per year of additional public and private investments.
