Lattanzio KIBS, an EVTA Associate Member, took part in Barcelona in the 2026 Open Conference and General Assembly of the European vocational training network.

People, transitions, governance: the pillars of the Barcelona Statement

On 12 November the Open Conference “VET at the Centre of a Renewed Europe”, hosted by PIMEC, brought together European institutions, agencies, social partners and training providers. Following an outline of the European context by the European Commission, the debate focused on three pillars: a renewed social contract between work and learning; the shift from training provision to the capability to support the transitions of people, companies and territories; and a more integrated multi-level governance of responsibility, evidence and financing. The resulting proposals feed into the Barcelona Statement.

Labour policies and training systems, the contribution of Lattanzio KIBS

In the afternoon the General Assembly, reserved for members, completed the day; on 13 November work continues with the EVTA Labs dedicated to shared priorities for 2027. For Lattanzio KIBS, an Associate Member since 2026, participation continues the path started in May with the CoVE Design Programme in Granada.

The themes discussed in Barcelona connect with the company's work alongside public administrations on employability, active labour market policies and education and vocational training systems: a European dialogue that helps institutions anticipate skills needs, to the benefit of workers, young people and businesses.
