In this publication, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), European Training Foundation (ETF), UNESCO, Cedefop, European Commission and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) call for a proactive approach to skills policies, focusing on anticipation and adaptability to future shocks. Strengthening skills intelligence and investing in sustainable, digital competencies are key.
