At a recent partnership meeting, stakeholders from across Europe discussed strategies to align TCLF education with industry needs, ensuring a skilled and adaptable workforce.

The initiative focuses on developing innovative training methods, expanding access to lifelong learning, and fostering collaboration between industry and education providers.
