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.

Regional Community Briefing, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 1-2 June 2016 The Fourth Industrial Revolution will disrupt business models and bring both challenges and opportunities to labour markets over the next five years, with enormous change predicted in the skill sets needed to thrive in the new landscape. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region is no exception to these trends. This briefing aims to support deliberations by participants at the World Economic Forum on ASEAN 2016 on how the region’s talent can be best positioned for growth—particularly in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution—and how business and government can work together to close skills gaps.
