On Wednesday 11 February at 14:00 CET, stakeholders from education, training, and industry are invited to join an interactive online workshop on how training systems can adapt to rapidly evolving labour market needs. The session, Designing Training for Fast-Changing Labor Markets, is organised by the Generative AI Skills Academy in collaboration with key European skills initiatives.

In fast-moving sectors such as artificial intelligence, technological development is continuous, skills requirements evolve rapidly, and innovation cycles are increasingly short. Traditional training models, often linear and content-heavy, struggle to keep pace with these dynamics. As a result, curricula risk becoming outdated before learners complete them, creating misalignment between training provision and labour market demand.

The workshop will explore whether, and how, training design can respond more effectively to this challenge. The focus is on practical approaches that prioritise relevance, responsiveness, and real-world impact, rather than static curricula.

The session is designed as an interactive exchange for training designers, educators, policymakers, and programme managers. Drawing on hands-on experience from the Generative AI Skills Academy, participants will examine alternative ways of structuring learning that are better suited to fast-changing skills ecosystems.

Particular attention will be given to assessment-first learning design, modular approaches, and mechanisms that allow training offers to evolve alongside market needs.

Agenda highlights

• 14:00–14:15
  Fast-changing labour markets and implications for training design
  Loredana Bucseneanu, Project Manager at the European DIGITAL SME Alliance and Engagement Coordinator at ARISA

• 14:15–15:00
  GenAISA training design lab: assessment-first learning design
  Spiros Soulis, Senior Advisor, Education, RMIT University

• 15:00–15:30
  Implications for institutions and programmes
  Open discussion on how innovative design approaches can be embedded in existing education and training systems

The workshop brings together expertise from:

• Generative AI Skills Academy (GenAISA)

• Digital Large Scale Partnership

• Artificial Intelligence Skills Alliance (ARISA)

This collaboration reflects a shared ambition to ensure that European training systems remain aligned with technological change and labour market realities.

Participation is open, and interested stakeholders are encouraged to register in advance to join the discussion.
