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.

Skills for the future: managing transition, an international conference hosted by the European Training Foundation in Turin (Italy) on 21-22 November 2018, brought together representatives of government, business and civil society from the ETF’s partner countries, the EU Member States, as well as the research community, and EU and international organisations. This was one of the first gatherings at which global debate on the future of skills took place in the context of the countries bordering the EU, which present a wide variety of economic, social and political structures and skills development systems. What follow are the main conclusions of the conference, in the light of discussions with the ETF’s partner countries and the European Commission’s own responses to the future of work, which prioritise digital skills, basic skills, key competences, inclusion and equity.
