ECRN is proud to present the Regional Skills Partnerships for the Chemical Industry during today’s meeting of SEDEC Commission, in Tampere, today Thursday 20th.

The chemical sector is the second largest sector in Europe in terms of direct jobs (3.4 million people) and it contributes 11.9% of EU27 manufacturing employment. The sector generates an even greater number of indirect jobs – up to three times higher than through direct employment. 

The main ambition of the Regional Skills Partnership is to highlight the role of skills and education and training in the green and digital transition of the chemical industry.  The Partnership will help the regions to find the best and the most suitable solutions to tackle the challenges linked to the skills needed for the green and digital transition of the chemical industry.
