On October 7 CESI took part in a European social dialogue project seminar in Athens, together with UNI Europa and PostEurop, on 'Skills and work environment in the digital postal transition'.
UNI Europa, CESI and PostEurop - the three European social partner organisations in the postal services sector - held the seminar as part of a larger project which will still run into 2026 with a further seminar in Paris and a final European conference in Brussels, coupled with a final report, to identify key skills needs in the digitalising and transforming European postal services sector over the next 10 years. More specifically, the project serves to:
- identify skills for different postal job functions that will be required over the coming decade.
- specify core competencies that will drive the transformation and adaptation of postal employment.
- enhance the understanding of measures and training pathways needed to effectively accompany this transition.
- analyse how targeted skills and competences can contribute to reducing or managing occupational health and safety risks.
- assess the extent to which these needs are addressed by existing training offers and determine the most effective solutions to strengthen postal operators’ ability to manage such risks.
While the seminar in Athens focussed on back-office operations, the next symposium in Paris will zoom in on postal items delivery.
