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.

Part of a series of forward-looking sector studies on New Skills and New Jobs Skills and jobs are of vital importance for the future of the European economy and have recently gained increasing attention, both at national and EU level. As stressed by the European Council in March 2008, investing in people and modernising labour markets is one of the four priority areas of the Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs. The New Skills for New Jobs initiative launched in December 2008 (European Commission, 2008) elaborates on how this could best be done. While the main focus of the study is on the future of skills and jobs by 2020, the study is both backward- and forward-looking in nature. It analyses recent relevant sector developments and trends and, at the same time, depicts the current state of play in the sector with an emphasis on innovation, skills and jobs.
