Come Think Again – Nearly four in five SMEs across the EU cannot find the talent they need

 
A staggering statistic: Nearly four in five SMEs across the EU cannot find the talent they need to grow and compete. 👀

This skills gap isn’t just a business problem—it’s threatening Europe’s competitiveness on the global stage.

The European Commission is responding with its ambitious “Union of Skills” initiative that aims to:
– Strengthen basic and advanced skills across the EU
– Create systems for regular upskilling and reskilling
– Make it easier to use qualifications across borders
– Attract and retain top talent in Europe

Key innovations include a Basic Skills Support Scheme, a new EU Vocational Education and Training Strategy, and an EU Talent Pool to connect employers with skilled workers from outside the EU.

🚀 At ComeThinkAgain, we’re proud to be part of this solution as an Erasmus+ Alliance for Innovation project. We’re working to promote Computational Thinking, Digital Competences, Entrepreneurship Education, and Green Skills to help bridge this critical talent gap.
