Pact for Skills: launch of large-scale Skills Partnership in the space sector
On the 25th of April 2023, with the support of the Commission, a large-scale Skills Partnership for the space sector dedicated to data, services and applications has been launched.
The partnership aims to empower workers with the skills needed for the development of future innovations and to achieve the aims of the EU’s Space Strategy for Security and Defence.
In particular, the partnership will:
- promote the collaboration between the space industry, training centres, academia and other partners
- attract young professionals
- develop new and existing regional initiatives and contribute to other training programmes such as the Copernicus Academies, Copernicus Relays and other activities performed under the CASSINI initiative
This new partnership complements the existing Skills Partnership on aerospace and defence.
What is the Pact for Skills?
The Pact for Skills is one of the flagship actions of the European Skills Agenda.
The Pact aims to support public and private organisations with upskilling and reskilling, so they can thrive through the green and digital transitions.
