About the Event

Join us for the BILT Bridging Event to explore the current trends in green and digital qualifications and competencies in TVET! At this hybrid event, we will discuss trends in new qualifications and competencies (NQCs), specifically to respond to green and digital skills needs in Europe. We will also present emerging trends in Africa and Asia-Pacific. The aim is to provide direction for future research and learning opportunities according to the BILT Agenda 2025: which sectors are particularly affected by transformation towards sustainability and digitalization? Which competencies and qualifications will lose or gain importance? And how are TVET systems and stakeholders responding?
