"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to congratulate my fellow Member on choosing the issues tackled. Why new skills? Changes in the labour market undoubtedly make it necessary to change and acquire new skills. However, what should we do with the skills that represent our heritage and our traditions?
Ms Bastos highlights the need to maintain the craft tradition and its associated skills. However, we need to do more. What about the trades that were once pivotal to the economy in certain areas? These areas, for example, in the mountains and foothills, no longer exist, having been abandoned in favour of the cities. One solution which could help create jobs and therefore help with employment might be precisely to rehabilitate certain trades and traditions, which would also help disadvantaged areas.
In order to ensure certain jobs continue, we need to invest in the young and give them a leading role in projects, traditions and trades that have fallen into disuse in the areas in question. Training aimed at finding young people jobs in small companies in these areas would have a two-fold benefit, helping to rehabilitate abandoned areas and increasing youth employment."@en1
