On 29 and 30 June, Cedefop organises in its premises in Thessaloniki the conference: the skills nexus between productivity and job quality: strengthening foundations for a competitive Europe.

As Europe navigates rapid technological change and global competition, this conference explores how skills and workplace learning can drive both productivity and job quality. It brings together experts, policymakers and practitioners to discuss how investing in people’s skills can strengthen Europe’s competitiveness. The event is part of the European VET and Skills Week.

Participants will discuss how companies and institutions can translate investment in skills and workplace learning into higher productivity and better job quality. The conference will also address the impact of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, on jobs and organisations.

Participants will engage in keynote speeches, panel discussions and interactive sessions. These will explore how skills development and workplace learning link to technological change and productivity, including transition towards Industry 5.0 and the role of workplace learning cultures.
