Metaskills4TCLF

The METASKILLS4TCLF project is asking them directly and we need your help input to find it out.

This survey gathers the expectations, motivations and concerns of young people in relation to the TCLF sectors: students, students with work experience, and young workers already in the industry. The results will feed into how the sector designs its training offer, communicates its career opportunities, and addresses the attractiveness gap that every TCLF employer in Europe recognises.
