Brussels, Belgium
Belgium and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) will organize the 5th OECD Skills Summit in Brussels on the 21st and 22nd of February 2024. This two-day event will unite ministers and senior officials from 38 OECD member countries and several non-member countries to share knowledge and delve into discussions on ‘Skills for the future – Building bridges to new opportunities.’
Every two years, the Skills Summit gathers ministers and senior officials with responsibilities for skills policies. The host country for this event changes with each edition, featuring a different OECD member country collaborating with the OECD. Each edition explores a different aspect of skills, often linked to societal challenges and changes that face the skills landscape.
The theme of the Skills Summit 2024 is ‘Skills for the Future: building bridges to new opportunities’. The 21st century has witnessed rapid technological, socio-economic, and environmental changes. To take advantage of opportunities inherent in this change and to help build a better future, countries should strategically position themselves and strengthen their skills systems. Collaboration between different policy domains, education providers, employers, and industries will be crucial.
