Labour Market and Workforce in a Reformed Educational Policy

One of the main goals in educational reform is to provide contemporary socio-economic development with required skills and profession to tackle modern challenges. In dealing with the national recovery-resilience plans, as well as “green”, digital and sustainability strategies, the EU member states are involved in a process of implementing fundamental transformation in the national education policies adequate to modern employment trends and workforce requirements. Never before educational reforms have had such a vital role in national social, economic issues and political orientations. Modern facets in national socio-economic development, instigated for example by the EU’s twin transition as well as the member states’ recovery/resilience plans, are based on quality education in new skills and/or re-skilling processes. Supplemented by the restructuring of the education process towards sustainability, circular economy and digitalisation, the new skills agenda reflects one of the basic elements in educational revolution. Thus, two new European instruments, among numerous others, i.e. dealing with career and learning choices, are showing that higher education sector is able to provide serious assistance to evident transformations in the labour market.
