Results for Skills policies and practices

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.

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.

Cedefop’s European Skills Index (ESI) measures the performance of national skills systems using a composite indicator approach. ESI monitors countries’ performance over time and provides insights into possible improvement areas. ESI delivers evidence that supports the EU policy framework for VET and skills, in particular the European Pillar of Social Rights and the European  Skills Agenda.
