Potential impact of green policies on skills
13-16 May 2012
Adjusting to the need for Adjusting to the need for greenergreener jobs jobs
Only few countries
systematically anticipate/analyse the need for green(ing) skills
FR, ES - new initiatives: observatories on green skills
UK – Skills funding agency, national strategic skills audit in 25 sectors
DK – responsibility of trade committees – employer surveys
integrate skills responses in their environmental policies,e.g. DK, FR, ES, UK
Quantitative, top-down methodologies insufficient, need for qualitative data, cooperation with ‘green’ sectors / companies
A comprehensive skills strategyA comprehensive skills strategy
Providing a sound basis for young people
Provide young people with flexible pathways and high quality training that anticipate and respond to labour market needs (longer-term)
standards, curricula, methodology
reinforced cooperation with enterprises – work based learning
educational leadership and highly-qualified teachers and trainers
Develop the right skills mix to allow progression and occupational mobility:
key competences + transferable occupational + specialised skills
more focus on intrapreneurship/capacity to manage change
workplace learning, experience abroad
Training tailored to allow all learners develop their strengths (fostering high talent and being inclusive)

But continuing and re-training will be
necessary over time
More focus on broadening and reinforcing adults’ skills:
More and varied VET offers for people in different employment statuses
also to low skilled, older workers, migrants (support measures, e.g. learning reps)
Quick response to short-term labour market needs(e.g. greening skills for traditional jobs)
More opportunities to stretch skills at work for all
Learning conducive workplace (work organisation, challenging tasks)
Flexible routes to skills and competences:
Access, progression and qualifications through several routes: less linear approach to learning
Flexible learning environments: various modes of delivery, times and methodsadjusted to learner needs (individualised learning paths)
