This guide is a part of the European Training Foundation (ETF), International Labour Office (ILO) and European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop) series of guides on skills anticipation and matching. All the guides follow a common structure, although they vary in terms of level of detail, technical content and case studies. This volume covers the development of skills foresights, scenarios and skills forecasts, and aims to support setting up skills forecasting systems at national level by means of quantitative and/or qualitative approaches.
The guide is built on a number of experiences and case studies in both developed and developing countries. It proposes a set of instruments devised to help guide new initiatives in this area. Adapted to specific objectives and country contexts, elements of the methods described can be combined. The guide is intended specifically for countries which are starting to develop systems of skill needs anticipation. It provides information for sponsors and implementers of skill needs anticipation initiatives, such as policy makers, education and training providers, public employment services, social partners and research and specialist organisations. Part A focuses on foresights and skills anticipation and part B on skills forecasts. Annexes provide country case studies on foresights and scenarios from: Brazil, Germany, Finland, Japan and Korea.
