Talent doesn’t disappear — it moves where opportunities feel realWhen young people leave a region, it’s rarely because they want to.It’s because opportunities feel limited, connections are missing, or the future looks uncertain.That’s the reality many European regions are facing — and the reason why the Harnessing Talent pilot matters.With EU support, 11 regions tested very practical ideas:✔ How do you keep skills local?✔ How do you help people grow professionally without having to move away?✔ How do you connect education, jobs and quality of life in a way that actually works?The answers weren’t one-size-fits-all. And that’s the point.Each region built solutions based on its own strengths — local businesses, universities, training centres, communities.What this pilot shows is simple:talent stays where people feel valued, supported and able to build a future.#HarnessingTalent #Regions #PeopleFirst #Skills #FutureOfWork
