Roundtable Discussion | Skills4Retail – Accelerating the Triple Transition in European Retail through skills

Skills4Retail Vision

The Skills4Retail project, an Erasmus + Partnerships for Innovation Funded project, bringing together 29 partners, will focus on fast-tracking the ‘Triple Transition’ of green, digital and resilience in the retail sector. The project's goal is to design a new Retail Skills Strategy and VET Training Programme that will address the urgent and emerging skills needs of retailers in the key areas of Digital, Green and Resilience. It will focus on training fresh new talent for the sector through training programmes in VET Schools and Higher Education Institutions, and the reskilling of the existing workforce via work-based learning and short-term modular courses. The programme will be market and industry demand-led at its core, continuously adapting and evolving to address current and future industry needs and supporting European Retailers to achieve long-term growth, competitiveness and sustainability.

Skills4Retail Roundtable Event Objectives

The objective of this roundtable is to launch the project and bring together prominent policymakers, business leaders, and practitioners to discuss and reflect on tomorrow's world and how we can prepare young people for the rapidly-changing labour market trends with a specific focus on the retail sector.
