For over a decade, Cedefop has been a driving force behind the development and dissemination of labour market and skills intelligence (LMSI – or in short: skills intelligence) for the European Union. Skills intelligence is the outcome of an expert-driven process of identifying, analysing, synthesizing, and presenting quantitative and/or qualitative skills and labour market information.
Aiming to help inform VET policy and provision, and more broadly, people’s education and career choices, Cedefop has developed targeted tools for understanding current and anticipating future skills demand and supply in the EU. The focus has been placed on using a range of skills anticipation methods to gain insight into labour market and skills trends and provide expert policy-relevant intelligence.
By taking stock of the current EU skills intelligence landscape and context, engaging in high-level discussions on skills policy priorities, and via interactive discussion with stakeholders on future development opportunities, the conference aims to:
- provide insights into how LMSI can contribute to understanding current challenges (digital, green, demographic, and others) and support designing better VET and skills policies at national and regional levels.
- present the results of main components of Cedefop’s skills intelligence toolkit and its potential contribution to policy action in the decade ahead, in line with the ambitions set out in the 2020 Skills Agenda and other EU policy priorities.
- initiate skills intelligence 2.0 by taking stock of Cedefop’s current LMSI work, identifying gaps in knowledge and understanding, and reflecting on opportunities to make LMSI smarter and more people-centered.
- shape the direction for Cedefop’s skills intelligence work in the years ahead by tapping into the insights and perspectives of Cedefop’s main stakeholders.
