The event organised by the European Committee of the Regions in collaboration with the OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities, will officially launch the policy paper on the role of subnational governments in adult skills systems. Bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders from across the EU and OECD, the event will gather representatives from local, regional, national and multinational levels as well as public and non-public sectors. With high-level speakers, participants will have the opportunity to explore the paper's key findings, discuss its implications for local, regional and national governments and reflect on how these insights can guide the ongoing implementation of the European Union of Skills initiative. This work was conducted as part of the OECD’s Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) Programme with support from JPMorganChase.
