#ESJsurvey INSIGHTS No 9 - The great divide

In this second instalment on the future of work, Cedefop's European skills and jobs survey reveals that more than seven in 10 adult employees in the EU need at least some fundamental ICT level to be able to perform their jobs; yet, about one in three of those employees are at risk of digital skill gaps.

On the way to 2020: data for vocational education and training policies

European policy-making in vocational education and training (VET) needs to be supported by sound evidence.
