In Portugal, employees’ skills have improved considerably in recent years but gaps remain in relation to European averages. The formal education of our workers must continue to improve.
In particular, those in employment the longest but with fewer qualifications have a lot to benefit from life-long learning, which enables them to transform their skills and better take advantage of the jobs of the present and future. Moreover, we also need management models that encourage openness to risk and favour decentralised decision-making.
