The EU Pact for Skills – Skills Partnership for the Tourism Ecosystem

The Pact for Skills initiative brings together all types and sizes of businesses, EU umbrella organisations, social partners, vocational and education training providers, and regional/municipal authorities to speak with a unified voice in supporting specific commitments to reskilling and upskilling the European tourism workforce in an effort to meet the objectives of the twin green and digital transition and bolster the resilience of the tourism ecosystem in the medium to long-term. This partnership promotes joint action through the establishment and implementation of large-scale skills partnerships at national, regional and local levels, which shall build on existing national structures fulfilling Pact for Skills criteria, in order to meet the skills needs of the entire workforce of the European tourism ecosystem, ensuring that any new skills are embedded in the overall policy and curricula for vocational education and training.
