Workshop entitled “Future Requirements & Training Challenges in Road Transport Employment“ in Thessaloniki, Greece (10.00-13.00).

Some of the SKILLFUL objectives, relevant to this Workshop, are the following: 

• to identify the major trends that will shape the future transportation ecosystem of Europe,
• to critically review the current practices of skills development for the needs of all transport modes in EU,
• to review and analyse the most promising new and emerging training methodologies and schemes in order to design appropriate training for the future and evolving requirements of the transport workforce.

As a result, the project will be able to identify potential gaps in availability of training schemes and programmes and to ensure the best possible match between the future training/education offer and the future job transport requirements. For the purpose of this, SKILLFUL look at the current state of play in a number of countries and try to form a common opinion along the three levels, namely: Strategic, Tactical and Operational.

Expected outcomes:

To collect participants view on:

•  Future jobs in the area of road transport

 Gaps in education
 New technologies
 Necessary skills for jobs in road transport 

•  Development of a map of the educational needs and skills needed in future jobs related to road transport.
