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.

- ¿Qué papel juegan los consejos sectoriales tripartitos para anticipar las necesidades de un sector para la formación de competencias actuales y futuras y la evaluación de la calidad y la pertinencia de los programas de formación?

- ¿Cuáles son algunos ejemplos de estrategias eficaces y con vista para el futuro para el desarrollo de competencias en un sector particular, para mejorar el rendimiento de las empresas y mantener vigentes las competencias de los trabajadores?

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.
