The skills anticipation lifecycle that skillman.eu adopts, incorporates as one of its key components for the identification of skills needs[1], the ILO skills anticipation system[2] and it’s also ispired by the five methodological guides[3] to anticipating and matching skills and jobs, published in 2016 by Cedefop in collaboration with the ILO and ETF.
In one side, the skillman.eu Alliance produces researches that are accomplished via its research centres, though existing international networks, as well as in cooperation with and support of the extensive network of the numerous complementary organizations who have joined the skillman.eu Alliance.
In the other side the Observatory aims to actively interconnect and coordinate all the actions and results with the existing EU tools and initiatives for skills development and aims to source a large debate among stakeholders.
This process wants make tangible results such as:
- total engagement of the audience and conversion of valuable stakeholders in assets for the future sustainability as they become skillman.eu open network members
- valorisation of the skillman.eu results that are fully distributed and implemented by the industries and VET providers belonging to the engaged stakeholders
- final beneficiaries involvement, because in this process, also the learners are fully engage with various dissemination campaigns, piloting, mobility and finally personal experiences that make them more aware and attracted by the sector working opportunities.
