Results for Digitalisation

The overall objective of Cedefop’s Key competences in vocational education and training (VET) project is to promote the development and integration of key competences in VET in Europe through research and evidence-based policy advice.

Lifelong guidance aims to provide career development support for individuals of all ages, at all career stages. It includes careers information, advice, counselling, assessment of skills and mentoring. Quality guidance services should be available to all individuals, regardless of their employment situation, socioeconomic status, ethnicity or gender. Cedefop’s lifelong guidance project develops research and knowledge exchange for the improvement of guidance and counselling across the European Union.

The European skills and jobs survey (ESJS) is Cedefop’s own periodic EU-wide survey aimed at collecting information on the skill requirements, skill mismatches and initial and continuing learning of adult workers in EU labour markets.

Skills in online job advertisements (OJAs) transforms online job posting data into meaningful labour market insights to uncover in-demand skills and occupations and generate actionable labour market intelligence. 

Cedefop’s “AI futures of work” project analyses how fast advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and other digital technologies are affecting skill demands and fostering skill mismatches in EU labour markets. It also examines digitalisations’ implications for new forms of work and learning, such as platform, gig, remote or other types of hybrid work. The insights of the project aim to inform policy regarding the future of vocational education and training and how to achieve the EU digital transition ambitions.

The Future of vocational education and training (VET) project, covering the 27 EU Member States as well as Iceland, Norway and the UK, will contribute to a better overall understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing European VET in the coming years.
