The first objective of the Restructuring Forum, organised by the European Commission in cooperation with the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) and the Committee of the Regions will be to set the scene for discussion and debate between the stakeholders on the role of skills needs anticipation in employment, education and training policy making and practices, and on how and by whom this should be done. The main results of 18 sectoral studies will be presented, highlighting the common challenges, the differences and the relative position of the different sectors under review in relation with competences and skills requirements. Workshops will offer the opportunity for participants to listen to the presentations of good practices for specific sectors and to discuss further some of the recommendations laid down in the studies.
A second objective will be to launch a discussion on how to reinforce and promote stronger collaboration at European level in the field of skills anticipation, focussing on the sectoral approach. To this end, the results of the feasibility study on the establishment of sectoral councils on employment and skills at European level will be presented during the forum.
This forum will serve as a platform for the exchange and discussion of good practice and instruments for dealing with skills identification at sector level.
It will bring together all the parties involved in managing change and anticipating skills, namely representatives of the European institutions, national and regional governments, cross industry and sectoral social partners, education and vocational providers, academic experts, promoters of good practice, chambers of commerce and industry, regional development agencies, and agencies involved in the promotion of skills development. EOSE is going to attend that Forum.
