Over the past decades, the manufacturing sector has faced changes on multiple fronts. This is a result of the digital transformation which goes beyond the digitisation of existing processes. It is of utmost importance to have a skilled workforce for mastering the digital and green transition of the manufacturing sector, given that upskilling and reskilling at scale can enhance the economic dynamism of businesses, at the same time as it can create an ecosystem that ensures all workers are employable and productive in the new world of work. The EU needs to form a new generation of skilled workers to achieve a high level of competitiveness and facilitate the industrial twin transition. In order to prepare for the future of manufacturing work, and to succeed in it, we must ensure that people are at the center of the industry’s digital and green transformation.
