Unequal territorial access to reskilling
Unequal access to reskilling across regions creates territorial disparities and limits equal opportunities to participate in skills development.
STRATEGIC DIAGNOSTIC QUESTION
Do all regions have equivalent access to high-quality reskilling services?
Do all regions have equally accessible and consistently high-quality reskilling services?
RECOMMENDATION
Fine-tune funding allocation
Access is broadly balanced, but funding and service quality should be continuously adjusted to maintain equity
RECOMMENDATION
Roll out territorial Reskilling Labs in lagging regions
Ensure full territorial coverage by establishing at least one Reskilling Lab in every region, with additional support for rural and disadvantaged areas.
Key National Policy Actions
Mandate territorial coverage via Labs
Set minimum national service standards and ensure nationwide coverage of Reskilling Labs to guarantee equal access. These standards define the basic level of quality, access, and services that must be provided everywhere, ensuring consistent services and fair opportunities for all individuals regardless of where they live.
Key National Policy Tools
Cohesion Policy; regional conditionalities
Cohesion Policy, targeted funding incentives, and regional conditionalities (requirements that regions must meet—such as establishing and maintaining Reskilling Labs—to receive funding) to support consistent implementation and long-term sustainability.
EXAMPLE TYPE
Territorial service coverage model.
National authorities require at least one Reskilling Lab per region and use higher co-financing rates to establish Labs in rural or disadvantaged areas.
