?Let’s recap:

➡️ Skills as a topic will continue to be a priority for the European Commission. According to Koen Nomden at the final panel of the Conference “we need to focus on empowering the learners”

➡️ Skills and life long learning are here to stay. But the reforms take time and “we need to move away from only policy reform to the interventions at the level of the teachers and schools” -Jeroen Willems

➡️ “We will expand our work on skills and include it into trade and regional cooperation and our ambition is to link vocational education to real opportunities out there” - Jean-Paul Heerschap

➡️ “We have to continue to stimulate the ideas on lifelong learning and give value to the achievements of EU neighbors” - 134 concluding the 2-days conference on skills and qualifications #Benefits4People.
