Description

Focus area
The initiative is aimed at developing appropriate instruments for quality coordination of staffing and competence needs, which contributes to the reduction of structural disparities in the labor market and faster access of the unemployed to employment. The policy instrument addresses the lack of relevant instruments and advanced tools that enable quality labour market forecasts. The instrument addresses this challenge by: developing a taxonomy of competencies, the establishment of an employment competency model and the implementation of its use; developing a model for identification of employers’ short-term needs for knowledge, skills and competences in the labour market; developing a multi-channel services.
