The government and the social partners agreed to promote the vocational training and retraining of the workforce. A fund will be created that aims to upgrade the adult education and continuing training. The so-called double skills upgrade (continuing education for both skilled and unskilled workers) has to strengthen the productivity and, in turn, create workplaces. The partners share the idea that it is crucial for unskilled workers to receive the proper training to become skilled workers and that those who are already skilled have the opportunity to embark on further training.
