The Future of Manufacturing in Europe
Other sources
Experts from many international, regional and national agencies generously share their views, experiences and findings on skills, helping policy-makers among other stakeholders to understand the linkages between education, training and the world of work, and how to integrate skills into national development planning to promote employment and economic growth.
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.
Eurofound is organizing a one-day conference on The Future of Manufacturing in Europe.
With key contributions from leading thinkers on the future of manufacturing, the event will bring together up to 80 industry experts, representatives of national and regional public authorities, social partners, academics and EU institutions to discuss how best to shape technological developments to promote economic growth and improve working conditions.
At the conference, Eurofound will present its latest findings on the Future of Manufacturing while four panel sessions will provide a wide-ranging forum in which participants can share experiences, concerns and the benefits of Industry 4.0.
There will be an opportunity to hear different perspectives on possible developments regarding manufacturing in Europe, as well as to explore questions such as:
- Will robots replace humans?
- Are blue-collar jobs turning white?
- What skills are required for new jobs?
- What is the future of work?
