Private- sector employers have adopted and enhanced this model by offering additional corporate-sponsored credits and tailored reskilling opportunities.88 –Employees accrue credits annually, which they can use to fund accredited training programmes, certifications or career transitions. –Employers supplement these credits with company- specific learning budgets, supporting industry-relevant skills and personal growth. –Under the scheme, 28 million eligible full- and part- time workers will receive €500 ($520) annually directly into their skills account to spend on upskilling and continuous learning, with low-skilled workers and those with disabilities receiving up to €800 ($830) annually, capped at a total of €5,000 and €8,000, respectively.89 This system not only ensures that workers remain adaptable in a rapidly evolving economy but also facilitates smooth career transitions and promotes financial stability.
