International organizations

Information is gathered from other international organizations that promote skills development and the transition from education and training to work. The Interagency Group on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (IAG-TVET) was established in 2009 to share research findings, coordinate joint research endeavours, and improve collaboration among organizations working at the international and national levels.

Anticipating and matching skills needs

Thumbnail

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.

OECD Digital Economy Papers, No. 198 This report analyses developments in ICT-related skills and employment, focusing in particular on the potential of green ICTs for job creation in the post crisis era. It examines the skills and competences required for the new ICT-related jobs, and to what extent existing skill sets are sufficient or need to be upgraded. This requires, as a consequence, a discussion of labour market transformation induced by the increasing deployment of ICTs and ICT-intensive technologies including green technologies. It also requires a discussion on means of acquiring needed skills; namely through education, training, outsourcing, and migration. The report analyses OECD government policies and programmes promoting ICT-related skills and jobs, and in particular green ICT-related skills and jobs. It finds that the further creation of new jobs can only occur if the right mix of skills and competences are available in the labour market.
