Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs
European Year of Youth: Discussion
Mr. Ivailo Kalfin:
Poverty is very important. We are now engaging in research on the green transition. Normally, when we speak about green transition, everybody talks about reskilling and upskilling. However, the problem with the needs is that a number of people, including young people, are not interested. Just because there is an offer of reskilling somewhere, it does not mean that everybody, including young people, are going to jump and say, “Yes, we are upskilling and we will start a new profession”.
