NORDTEK Logo Webinar 1/10/2020 Boosting the digital transition through lifelong learning NORDIC INITIATIVES The consequences of the 2020 crisis will require new ways of thinking, working and learning. Ensuring relevant lifelong learning provision is a hard nut to crack, but now more than ever, it is seen as the key to adapt to restructuring and changing our societies. Not only pandemics impacts our labour markets, so does the digital transformation. The drawbacks of digital transition have been already addressed at some degree in the Nordic Region, - often regarded as a digital frontrunner in Europe and globally due to its capability to access and use digital infrastructure. However, closing the digital skills gap and ensuring adequate provision of lifelong learning courses is still a challenge for the Region. The webinar will shed light on region’s positions of strength and the attempts to mitigate risks of skills shortage posed by the digital transition. “No matter how much we know there’s always something new to learn!” Who is this webinar for? ✓ If you are working with continuous professional development, adult education or you are a lifelong learning enthusiast or just interested in upskilling/reskilling and you happen to represent academia, education sector, policy making, industry and trade unions in the Nordic Region or you are a member of the EU Skills and Jobs Coalition, then this webinar is just for you! Why to participate? ✓ At the webinar you will be introduced to the main findings of the report, developed for the occasion, and highlighting some Nordic initiatives – the true frontrunners in the provision of lifelong learning courses.
