Partner UP Project Wraps Up with Final TPM in Brussels

The Partner UP Project, an EU initiative aimed at improving Upskilling Pathways for adult learners, held its final Transnational Project Meeting (TPM) on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, in Brussels. The meeting brought together stakeholders from across Europe to discuss strategies for increasing adult participation in lifelong learning and enhancing cooperation under the European Skills Agenda.

The event featured two keynote speeches from leading experts in skills development. Ann Branch, Head of Unit for the European Skills Agenda at DG EMPL (European Commission), emphasized the crucial role of upskilling and reskilling in maintaining Europe’s global competitiveness. Laura Reznikova from the OECD shared key insights from the OECD’s ongoing study on stakeholder cooperation, offering valuable data and recommendations to strengthen collaboration in the adult learning sector.

The Partner UP Project has made significant progress in supporting the European Commission’s Upskilling Pathways Recommendation, which aims to provide adults with access to personalized learning opportunities. The project has fostered collaborations that not only benefit adult learners but also contribute to the broader goals of the European Skills Agenda.

As the meeting concluded, participants reflected on the achievements of the Partner UP Project and the future of upskilling in Europe. The gathering provided an important platform for peer learning, stakeholder engagement, and partnership-building, with key discussions on stakeholder mapping, outreach strategies, and cross-sector cooperation—all essential for the successful implementation of Upskilling Pathways.
