Information is gathered from other international organizations that promote skills development and the transition from education and training to work.

Anticipating and matching skills needs

Anticipating and building skills for the future is essential to a rapidly changing labour market. This applies to changes in the types and levels of skills needed as well as in occupational and technical areas. Effective methods to anticipate future skills needs and avoid potential mismatches include: sustained dialogue between employers and trainers, coordination across government institutions, labour market information systems, employment services and performance reviews of training institutions.

The YouthXchange Green Skills and Lifestyles Guidebook is the second in a series of thematic guidebooks supporting the UNEP/UNESCO YouthXchange (YXC) Initiative. The Guidebook is designed to help young people familiarize themselves with the green economy, the skills needed for a green economy (such as how to engage in social innovation and green entrepreneurship), and how to make their jobs greener (which also involves adopting more sustainable ways of living). It aims to better prepare young people for green jobs by envisioning future jobs and the required skills, rethinking the role of different stakeholders and looking at the life skills for the future of sustainable societies.
