On Monday, October 10, 2022 16:30h - 18:00 (CET), the European Commission will host 'Pact for Skills - Enabling the green transition in automotive regions', an extraordinary information session that aims to create a lasting discussion about how regions can address the green transition.  

The workshop aims to bring together regions from across the EU to discuss how they can address the challenges related to the transformation. There is an ongoing need to anticipate and support the creation of a skilled workforce in the automotive ecosystem. The workshop will focus on concrete upskilling/reskilling initiatives and projects at regional level, based on regional policies as well as experiences, in the sense of a genuine bottom-up principle.

Regions and municipalities from Germany, Spain, Portugal, Czechia, Slovakia, and Romania will share their experiences with the purpose of formulating joint recommendations on the best way to address regional re/upskilling needs.

Part of the EU Week of Regions and Cities, the session is aimed at partners from all around Europe, who will have a chance to draw inspiration from the innovative regional projects involving research & development facilities, education and training providers, businesses and public organisations - stakeholders with the common goal to develop specific training programmes for the new and fast-growing technologies in the automotive ecosystem.
