Skills2Capabilities

The Skills2Capability project is about understanding how skill systems across Europe need to develop if they are to assist people in labour market transitions—i.e., those between jobs, employers, or sectors—and thereby reduce the level of skill mismatch that might otherwise arise. The study addresses capabilities from both the demand and the supply side.

Project description

The EU-funded project is about understanding how skills systems need to develop if they are to assist people in making labour market transitions - i.e. between jobs, employers or sectors – and thereby reduce the level of skills mismatch which might otherwise arise. The study centres on the capabilities individuals will increasingly need to acquire if they are to effectively manage labour market transitions. From the demand side, the study addresses the skills and capabilities in demand now and in the future. From the supply side, it addresses how the capabilities of interest are reflected in vocational education and training. The research will provide decision-makers in government and education with a better understanding of the capabilities that skills systems will need to supply in the future
