Low participation of vulnerable and low-skilled adults
Low participation of vulnerable and low-skilled adults limits inclusion and reduces the overall impact of skills policies.
Are national participation rates aligned with EU & national targets, disaggregated by vulnerability?
Are participation rates aligned with targets for vulnerable groups, i.e. in-transition workers affected by digital and green changes, unemployed and inactive adults, as well as women returning to the labour market, migrants, young adults (up to 25), and older workers (55+), all of whom require targeted support.
Maintain monitoring and targeted adjustments
Participation is on track, but continuous monitoring and targeted adjustments are needed to ensure no groups are left behind.
Establish a National Reskilling Labs Framework
Such framework creates a coherent, system-wide entry point, where all Labs follow a shared model to ensure consistent access, standardised skills assessment, and personalised guidance for all learners across the country
Key National Policy Actions
Create a national single-entry reskilling architecture
This is a system that provides one unified access point where adults receive standardised skills assessment and personalised guidance and are directed to suitable training, simplifying access and ensuring each learner is efficiently guided into pathways aligned with labour-market needs.
Key National Policy Tools
PES mandate; ESF+; national LLL strategy
National authorities should establish a single, strategic entry point to adult reskilling by embedding the Reskilling Labs model within public employment services and adult education systems, ensuring coordinated access, funding, and delivery.
Example
Single-entry access and guidance model.
In Reskilling Labs, adults complete one standardised skills assessment and guidance interview that routes them directly to tailored learning and support, instead of multiple institutions.

National-level policy makers
Government authorities responsible for guiding the overall system by setting strategic priorities, ensuring policy alignment across sectors, and creating stable funding and regulatory frameworks that enable scalable and coherent reskilling and adult learning policies.
Local & regional decision makers
Regional and municipal authorities responsible for implementing policies at regional and local level, coordinating stakeholders, ensuring access to training, and aligning provision with labour market needs. They support this through financial measures such as scholarships, grants, subsidies, and training incentives; administrative measures including local skills-needs assessments and labour market intelligence; while practical implementation actions – such as career guidance, mentoring, outreach, flexible learning arrangements, and co-design of training programmes – are typically delivered through local employment offices, education and training providers, employer partnerships, and contracted support services.
Employers
Small, medium-sized, and large organisations across sectors seeking to anticipate and respond to evolving workforce and skills needs in line with organisational, technological, and market developments, including through workforce planning, adaptation to changing competence requirements, and strengthening recruitment, retention, and long-term workforce resilience.
