Powering the European digital transition
Between the 9 and 14 December the European Centre for the Development
of Vocational Training [https://www.cedefop.europa.eu/en] (Cedefop)
will host a four-day virtual conference on ‘Powering the European
digital transition – What can we learn from Cedefop´s 2nd European
skills and jobs survey?
[https://www.cedefop.europa.eu/en/events/powering-european-digital-transition]’.


The conference will focus on the main findings of Cedefop´s second
European skills and jobs survey
[https://www.cedefop.europa.eu/en/projects/european-skills-and-jobs-survey-esjs/second-european-skills-and-jobs-survey-esjs]
(ESJS2). The survey sampled about 46000 adult workers, collecting
information on how digitalisation affects them, whether their skills
match their job requirements, and the extent to which they are ready
to invest in vocational training to adapt to technological change. 

During the conference, the key findings from this survey will be
explored to highlight the implications of digitalisation for skill
mismatch and showcase good practices of vocational education and
training. In addition, the conference will launch the new Cedefop
ESJS2 indicator online web tool and serve as forum to collect
participants´ feedback and policy ideas. 

Several policymakers, skills and labour experts, as well as
researchers will speak at the event. Among these, there will also be
Sir Christopher Pissarides
[https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/economic-sciences/2010/pissarides/biographical/], Nobel
Prize laureate in Economics in 2010, and Nicolas Schmit
[https://ec.europa.eu/commission/commissioners/2019-2024/schmit_en], 
European Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights. 

As 2023, the European Year of Skills, is approaching, Cedefop aims to
stimulate evidence-informed debates on how to shape a human digital
transition in Europe. At data.europa.eu we also strive to support a
data-driven future and digitally skilled labour market. Discover how
