Skill mismatches and shortages remain a significant challenge across OECD countries. These imbalances can constrain productivity and economic growth, while also reducing wages and job satisfaction for affected workers. To design effective policies that address these issues, countries need accurate, forward looking skills intelligence. This webinar marks the launch of a new OECD report on Skills Assessment and Anticipation (SAA), produced with the financial assistance of the European Union and developed in cooperation with the European Commission. The report reviews 17 national SAA exercises from OECD countries and international best practices, identifying the key features that underpin robust SAA systems. It also offers practical guidance for policymakers, including approaches to strengthen implementation and support the use of SAA results in higher education. The event will spotlight SAA exercises and methodologies, present key findings from the report, and feature discussions with international experts and practitioners. Join us to explore good practices in SAA and engage with international experts on developing and implementing effective SAA systems.
This webinar is in collaboration the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya and their International Forum on Skills Intelligence (IFSI) webinar series, you can register here for the mailing list. It is also part of the Skills and the Future of Work Webinar series.
