The G20 skills strategy for developing and using skills for the 21 century

The G20 skills strategy for developing and using skills for the 21 century | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
This paper explains why a comprehensive skills strategy is needed and offers a comprehensive and integrated framework to assess and identify where policy action is needed to improve skill systems.



The framework put forward in this paper builds on the OECD Skills Strategy (2012) as well as the G20 Training Strategy (2010) and the conceptual framework underlying the World Indicators of Skills for Employment (WISE) database which was developed for the G20 Development Working Group. Building on these initiatives, the policy framework to develop and use skills better is designed around three main areas: i) Building skills for work and life; ii) encouraging firms to invest in skills; and iii) ensuring that skills are fully used (through better activation and matching of skills). Policies in these three areas are instrumental for achieving better economic and social outcomes. In addition, broader labour market settings that enable and provide the right incentives for skill acquisition, higher skill requirements and better skills use are also essential.

The Skills Revolution

The Skills Revolution | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
Automation has been increasing its presence in the workplace for some time and will continue to define the tasks we do in the future.

For some, the impact is immediate: one study estimated that up to 45 percent of daily tasks could be automated with current technology. But rather than eliminate jobs, many employers are upskilling their existing employees.

To prepare for digitalization, 83 percent of employers plan to either maintain or increase their headcounts over the next two years. Organizations will also face a greater demand for highly skilled workers as job requirements change.

Europe. Rethinking skills in the context of Europe 2020

Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:

Since local communities that are recovering fastest from the crisis are those having a labour force that is adaptable to external trends and shocks, local and regional authorities (LRAs) can play a crucial role by addressing the less conventional, more modern skills as an important way to increase flexibility and adaptability of the labour force. These skills include basic skills, multilingualism and digital literacy, while the development of entrepreneurship becomes a key component for welfare as it may create occupation for the unemployed and new businesses. By the same token, media literacy is necessary for creating new jobs in the media industry and for school education to improve, in turn, the level of media literacy in society.
