    ETUC urges EU ministers to make a fresh commitment to investment in education and training for workers

    Brussels, 05/12/2006 “The key message from the ETUC is simple,” says Confederal Secretary Joël Decaillon, “The EU needs to invest more on education and training at national and European level. As there are 72 million non-qualified or low-skilled workers in Europe and new jobs will require higher qualifications than before, investment in education and training is a necessity, not a luxury.”
