About the PO21 Project
Across Europe, there are a variety of challenges linked to the training and education of prison officers. PO21 seeks to identify existing and emerging skill needs within prison officers; strengthening the exchange of knowledge and practices and adapting vocational education and training to skills needs, while promoting qualification standards in the sector, with a particular emphasis on digital skills.
