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 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 combination of slow economic growth, lingering unemployment, some of it structural, and a dramatic demographic shift towards older populations on the horizon is increasing pressure on policy makers to find ways to boost productivity. The Internet is seen as a key platform that can help support needed productivity gains, open up new business opportunities, and lead to new and better jobs. But at the same time, the Internet is forcing a significant reorganisation of businesses, and this affects labour demand and ultimately employment. The combined effect of these drivers is not obvious, and may depend on specific conditions and policies in each country.
