  • Expand programmes for small companies to acquire digital training, advisory services and information on security and privacy.
  • Expand training programmes and boost incentives to participate, especially for workers in jobs more affected by the digital and green transitions. Accelerate and expand the provision of adequate digital resources and regular ICT training to schools and teachers.
  • Provide more individualised job-search and training support to jobseekers, especially younger ones. Accelerate the digitalisation of PES to free up resources and support caseworkers.
  • Revise land use regulations and limit discretionary powers of municipalities in licensing procedures.
