The Slovenian Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities has reached out to Cedefop to seek expert advice with regards to setting up a Skills Forecasting system and to improve the governance of skills anticipation and matching in the country.

A first workshop was organised early 2021 where technical advice was given on how best to proceed with setting up a national system while particular emphasis was placed on the challenges of organising and implementing skills forecasts in a small country. A second meeting was organised towards the end of the year which mainly addressed two main themes. First was about managing expectations; what can be expected from long term skills forecasts and where are their limitations? How to see skills forecasts in the context of other tools? The second was about the governance of skills anticipation and matching; how to ensure trust? what is the role of partners and stakeholders? how to ensure results feed into policy making? The third workshop, which concluded the support to Slovenia took place on July 4th. The main focus was to engage in discussions on how to best integrate skills anticipation into the labour market platform currently in development and strengthen skills governance.

This seminar used research findings and insights developed by the five EU Agencies under the responsibility of DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion (Cedefop, Eurofound, EU-OSHA, ETF and ELA) to engage in a discussion on employment, skills and social policies that work for young people.

In the European Year of Youth, five EU Agencies, Cedefop, Eurofound, ELA, OSHA and ETF came together to organise a seminar sponsored by the European Parliament's Chair of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, Mr Dragos Pîslaru with a view to share their research findings and explore the challenges facing young people in times of uncertainty. The five Agency directors together with MEPs and other experts discussed youth policies, opportunities and challenges, in terms of employment, working conditions, wellbeing and mental health and the impact of COVID-19 on young people. The event took place in the European Parliament in Brussels and - due to limited capacity - was by invitation only.

Cedefop is organising the first expert workshop on transparency and transferability of learning outcomes to explore two decades of European initiatives

Numerous initiatives have been taken at European and national level to encourage a shift towards more flexible education and training systems, facilitating lifelong and life-wide learning. To gain insights into the combined impact and sustainability of such policy initiatives, Cedefop has launched the “Transparency and transferability of learning outcomes” project that  analyses efforts of the past two decades (2000-2021) to increase flexibility of European education, training and learning systems making it possible for individual citizens to enter, re-enter and combine education, training and learning according to their needs and current circumstances.

The workshop will gather experts in the fields of EU tools, learning outcomes and qualifications to allow for an exchange on policies aimed at encouraging transparency and transferability of learning outcomes and to identify strengths and weaknesses in pursuing lifelong and life-wide learning. Discussions will focus on the relationships between EU policy initiatives of the last 20 years and their combined impact. Influences between European and national initiatives will also be explored.

Participation is by invitation only. If you are interested in participating, please contact the responsible people (see contact details). Please note that a limited number of participants will be accepted.
