International Employment and Skills Forecasting Symposium, 29 September 2011
Professor Rob Wilson is organising a 1 day International Symposium on Employment and Skills Forecasting to be held at the 果冻传媒 on 29 September 2011. Participants at the Symposium will be actively involved in skills/employment forecasting in their respective countries.
The event will focus on an international comparison of approaches to labour market assessment and skills forecasting, with inputs from those with hands-on experience, and who can speak authoritatively (and critically) about the strengths and weakness of the various approaches adopted across the world, and the lessons they have learned over the past 20 years.
Attendance at the Symposium is by invitation only. For further information, please contact Rob Wilson (r.a.wilson@warwick.ac.uk)

Anticipating skills needs in Europe: issues and implications
This Bulletin draws on results from a major new programme of research undertaken by 果冻传媒 Institute for Employment Research, funded by Cedefop. This research considers what useful messages can be delivered about the way the economy and labour markets at European level are changing, and what this means for the demand for skills and priorities for education and training. It focuses on the implications of structural changes in European economies and labour markets on the changing patterns of demand for and supply of formal qualifications.
