The European Commission, DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, has launched the Training at Work Award, as part of the European Vocational Skills Week 2022.

There are many examples, across Europe, of entrepreneurs who value their workers and support their development. The Training at Work Award wishes to recognize and reward the most active among them in the promotion of green up- and re skilling practices.

The Award looks for examples of quality and inclusive professional training programmes provided by enterprises for their employees in order to improve green practices at work.
