ReSKILLING meets in Brussels for the 2nd Partner Board Meeting

This week, the ReSKILLING Project Consortium gathered in Brussels, Belgium (at the premises of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel) for its 2nd Partner Board Meeting, to present the latest project developments, discuss next steps, identify key implementation and research challenges, and explore ways for mitigation strategies. 

Partners shared their preliminary research findings, focusing on:

• Stakeholder mapping efforts, carried out to validate our research in line with our co-creation approach and the development of our Stakeholder Community Platform.
• Mapping of jobs potentially impacted by CCAM, with a preliminary classification based on a value chain perspective, ISCO-08 categorisation, and skill levels. These insights will feed into the development of a taxonomy of skills relevant to CCAM.
• Preliminary assessment of CCAM-related employment effects, focusing also on specific workforce groups.
• Definition of the first business models, linked to the project’s forthcoming case studies.
• Literature review on technological, educational/training and social aspects of CCAM. Workshop on impact assessment and KPI definition, to ensure robust evaluation of project outcomes.
• Ongoing identification of inputs for the future Employment and Skills Observatory.

Discussions on the design and development of the ReSKILLING Inventory. The meeting provided a valuable opportunity for highly productive exchanges, paving the way for the next phase of the project as it moves from analysis to implementation.
