Skills mismatches from an employer perspective
Anm.: How, if at all, does a lack of entry-level employee skills affect your company?Kilde: McKinsey survey, Aug–Sept 2012, 2013, Education to Employment: Getting Europe’s Youth into Work

Perception of skills mismatches
Anm.: 1 Overall, the entry-level employees we hired in the past year have been adequately prepared by their prehire education and/or training. 2 Overall, I think I was adequately prepared for an entry-level position in my chosen career field. 3 Overall, graduates from my institution are adequately prepared for entry-level positions in their chosen field of study.

The problem of skills mismatch• We need a highly-skilled labour force in Europe to protect
our competetiveness and maintain investments in Europe
• Companies will only invest in Europe if they are sure they can find labour with the right skills
• Due to demographic challenges it is more important than ever to make full use of the potential of the working population in Europe
• In spite of high youth unemployment – companies cannot find candidates with the right skills

Dual learning systems• Why?
– Ensure a smoother transition from education to labour market
• Benefits for companies:– A recruitment source– Synergies between the worlds of education and business
• Benefits for young people:– Becomes attractive to the labour market– High employment rate – Mobility in the labour market

What can EU do to help member states combat youth unemployment
• The Commission, the Parliament and many member states recognize the importance of a better link between education and business– European Alliance for Apprenticeship– (Youth guarantee)
BUT:• A youth guarantee will not combat youth
unemployment in Europe, only: – Mobile, dynamic and open labour markets combined
with– Educational systems linked to the demands of the
companies will

Recommendations for STYLE• Address ways to strengthen incitements to carry through
necessary reforms:– E.g. the EU could set a side means (European funds) to cover initial
costs for countries that wish to reform toward work-based learning/dual learning
– These means could be linked to the national reform programs
• Recommend the EU to continue existing programs that promotes mobility such as your first EURES job
• Recommend the EU/OECD to develop statistics/a benchmark to measure the performance of VET systems– Employability– Share of education spend in a company– Percentage of youth generation that carries through a VET education– Etc.
