Europe’s Catholic bishops warn against training workers solely through the lens of employability, without fostering the integral development of the person. The Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Union (COMECE) has proposed a programme for educating, training and reskilling of the workforce to foster the integral development of the person, rather than just through the lens of employability and competitiveness. They advocate integrating inter-religious, interpersonal, critical thinking and cultural awareness competences at all levels of reskilling.
