This is a very interesting initiative from the European Commission and EASME, carried out by PWC. I am myself expert and evaluator for the project. Now it is time for the final public workshop in Brussels 4th June 2019. Welcome to join!

How can we effectively promote online training in the workforce in Europe? Join us at a high-level conference in Brussels on 4 June 2019 in the context of the ongoing initiative of the European Commission. The conference will focus on new solutions, best practices and policy measures that reflect the need to upskill and reskill a significant percentage of the European workforce, and that would truly support enterprises, especially SMEs in this challenge. It will bring together policymakers, practitioners, academic and industry professionals, as well as course developers, start-ups and publishers, with a shared interest in promoting new technology-enhanced learning and training methods. Should you want to join the conference, please fill out the registration form

The mindset of today’s start-ups is completely different from small companies from a few years ago. The role of learning providers is changing, with centralized top-down approaches shifting towards decentralized bottom-up learning. Learners themselves become increasingly engaged in generating knowledge, with the growing importance of peer-to-peer learning. Many of the approaches and solutions for online training that exist today do not match the learning realities and needs of modern SMEs.
