FRAME Kick-off Regional event Danilovgrad, 17-18 September 2013 Introduction to Group work I
Group Work I: Challenges and Priorities National challenges and priorities in terms of anticipating and identifying skills needs up to 2020. Priorities could relate to general needs such as the need for more entrepreneurial or specialised technical skills, or skills linked to key priority sectors, such as for example manufacturing, ICT, health. The challenges could relate to how to anticipate and meet skills needs effectively, how to develop joined-up policy approaches across government breaking down the silos, how to address sectoral needs without overspecialisation. In addition challenges could relate to gaps in terms of policy functions, institutions and/or capacities, and the capacity-building challenge to address and implement the skills 2020 strategy.
Group Work session I: Challenges and Priorities Common imperatives faced by the countries in anticipating and meeting skills needs effectively up to 2020. • whether and how and to what extent these can be addressed through coordinated activities at regional level. • The transfer of policy approaches/solutions from one country context to another is constrained by the extent to which the conditions in the two countries are similar and receptive. Often there is a need for a level of adaptation and fine-tuning of policy approaches.
