Approaches to skills anticipation and matching – experiences in the EU and Eastern Partnership region
The European Training Foundation (ETF), in cooperation with the European Commission’s Directorate General Employment Social Affairs and Inclusion and Directorate-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations, provide thematic expertise and facilitate the exchange of experience across the six countries of the Eastern Partnership (EaP).
This thematic workshop was part of the Eastern Partnership Platform 2 Work Programme for 2014 – 2017. This “Skills Matching project in the EaP region” aims at building capacity and sharing experience on approaches and institutional settings for anticipation of skills demand and how the created evidence can be used to shape skills’ supply policies.
This third workshop was dedicated to labour market and skills Observatories (the various typologies of France) and to a training session on methods for labour market forecast. The workshop is conducted in cooperation with the French Ministry of Labour, Employment, Vocational Training and Social Dialogue and with France Stratégie
The two first workshops of this project took place in June 2014 (in Turin) and in June 2015 (Helsinki). As a result, the regional Network of experts and policy makers was established, formed by motivated country teams; the online Platform for Skills Anticipation and Matching was launched; the country fiches and preliminary roadmaps guiding the countries’ decisions regarding development of skills matching systems were drafted by the country teams; started capacity building of the Network members on current practise in the EU regarding approaches, methods and institutional settings for skills anticipation and matching.
The programme of thematic workshops is planned to continue in 2016 (2 events) and in 2017 (final conference).
