The project bringing together six representative social partners from Central and Eastern Europe seeks to find answers to such questions as what happens to the millions of European citizens affected by both automation and the COVID-19 crisis in the upcoming years, and what skills are needed to develop in a way that keeps pace with a constantly changing world of work.
By engaging Romanian, Hungarian and Slovakian employers and employee representatives, WorkTransitionCEE aims to underline how critical the years ahead will be for job transition in the new world of work. Specifically, the project highlights the importance of a strong European social dialogue and the need to implement the Autonomous Framework Agreement on Digitalisation to optimise the benefits and better deal with the challenges of digitalization.
The main aim of the project is to raise awareness of the opportunities and challenges resulting from the digital transformation of the world of work. The expected results are strengthening social dialogue at national level, guidance of employers and workers on grasping the opportunities, promotion of upskilling and reskilling and making policy recommendations.
