Description

The Commission evaluated the actions taken in response to the Council Recommendation on Upskilling Pathways.

Moreover, it investigated the progress made towards raising the levels of literacy, numeracy and digital skills amongst adults as well as towards providing those who are lower skilled with further upskilling opportunities. It also assessed the experience gained and implications for the future. The evaluation reports adopted as part of the European Year of Skills show a mixed picture in the implementation efforts.

Based on the results of the evaluation and provided that labour shortages and skills mismatches are increasing, the implementation of the Council Recommendation on Upskilling Pathways clearly needs improvement. It is necessary to provide everyone with opportunities on the labour market and in society.
