In line with the second theme of the Skills Summit ‘Creating learning and career pathways that lead to new opportunities’, the objective of this visit is to highlight the learning pathways offered to the target audience (young people, whether they are close or far from employment) by various Walloon entities. These pathways involve skill acquisition, development, reinforcement and improvement, and will be illustrated through examples of partnerships between these entities.

In addition, the visit to aptaskil will focus on the two distinct dimensions of its service offerings. First, you will explore all the training opportunities tailored to the production, chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnological sectors. Second, we will concentrate on awareness-raising initiatives targeting young individuals. The aim is to promote and encourage the variety of choices and vocations in scientific and technical professions (STEAM) through engaging ‘discovery activities’, recognising that today’s youth will be tomorrow’s workforce. Furthermore, the delegations will have the opportunity to explore practical exercises. Finally, a presentation will address the role of the sectoral social partners in the development of the training offer, as well as the governance of the centre.
