How will the European Green Deal affect the way we live, learn and work? What will be the impact of the green transition on skills and the labour market? What is vocational education and training's role? And how can the so-called 'thyroid occupations' influence the transition? Cedefop experts Stelina Chatzichristou and Jasper van Loo have some answers.

In a wide-ranging interview, Cedefop Executive Director Jürgen Siebel talks about moving from the private sector to a public organisation, his vision for Cedefop, the pandemic effect and how the EU Agency’s work on vocational education and training, skills and qualifications ultimately benefits European citizens.
