🌐Today is World Youth #Skills Day!

This year’s theme, “Youth empowerment through #AI and digital skills” is quite relevant for @europeon.bsky.social.

It is essential that education keeps up with new digital tools and that VET students get real hands-on experience through apprenticeships. 👨‍💻

🤝Climate spending will underpin Europe’s long-term competitiveness, resilience and growth
