Recital 27

Text proposed by the Commission	Amendment
(27) Europe faces a growing challenge in meeting the demand for skilled talent in strategic and evolving sectors like clean and circular technologies, transport, energy, water resilience, healthcare, digital technologies, aerospace and defence. To address this key need, it is essential to develop, attract and retain talented individuals in these fields. In line with the Union of skills, the Programme should among other support EU students to pursue studies in such critical sectors and attract as well top talent to Europe by enhancing the attractiveness of education and training and offering scholarships to students, including through Erasmus Mundus scholarships. This would contribute to address the skills needs for the labour market, including for sectors suffering severe staff shortages.

To address this key need, it is essential to develop, attract and retain talented individuals in these fields. The Programme should among other support EU students to pursue studies in such critical sectors by enhancing the attractiveness of education and training and offering scholarships to students, without creating a new migration pathway for third-country nationals. This would contribute to address the skills needs for the labour market, including for sectors suffering severe staff shortages.
