What was done in 2014
Validation in Platform 2
• Project: in Work Programme EaP Platform 2 (2014-17)
• Focus: thematic workshops for knowledge sharing and capacity building
• First report to policy meeting of Platform 2 (Dec 2014)
Networking
• First format and first steps of the experts’ Network
• First workshop: June 2014, Turin
• Identified key needs and thematic areas for further work / reflection
Analysis
• Country analysis (6 reports – working papers, not published)
• Cross-country report “Skills Needs Identification and Anticipation Policies and Practices”– discussed and validated, published
Findings in EaP cross-country report • The mismatches perceived in the EaP countries are severe
• EaP countries are in reforms with their education and training systems and improving methods to anticipate future skill needs are part of the priorities agenda
• Mismatch generate issues for the education system, for the demand side and for policies on HRD etc.
• There is the institutional gap between education and employment systems and the gap between institutional actors and the private sector.
• The EaP countries dispose of a relatively good general statistical basis, but there are gaps in specific labour market data
• Where information and data exist they are under-utilized or not used
• A large representation of informal sector and SMEs asks for combination of methods for identification of skills
• Intermediary institutions such as PES and vocational guidance systems underdeveloped or under-utilized
Recommendations in cross-country report
Each EaP country needs:
• to decide where to set their priorities, depending on existing situation and infrastructure
• to improve the data bases for skills anticipation: development of coherent labour market information and investigation system (LMIIS) based on robust data collected systematically from different sources.
• to develop a mix of approaches: mix of top-down and bottom-up approaches and divers methods required to meet diverse needs of different actors, combination of strategic policy measures with actions driven by market mechanisms.
• to report results and disseminate information: in the format and for the understanding of relevant users and stakeholders
• to have a form of actors coordination: a decision on coordinating body with clear mandate accountable to the top policy level is recommended
