Strengthening Skills Anticipation and Matching in Greece. Labour Market Diagnosis Mechanism: A Compass for Skills Policies and Growth
Cedefop - European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training
As part of its support to the European Union (EU) skills agenda and strategy, Cedefop started in 2016 to provide direct support to its Member States to strengthen their skills intelligence policies and systems. A first round of "Skills governance country reviews" has been concluded in four countries: Greece, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Estonia. The reviews have adopted a tailor-made methodology and analytical framework to analyse the governance of skills anticipation and matching in the national context, and to identify possible development opportunities for the future. This report summarises the key insights and lessons of the first review of the Greek skills anticipation and matching system. In recent years Greece has developed an innovative mechanism for labour market diagnosis, to design informed skills and employment policies. The national policy roadmap drafted in close consultation and agreement with national stakeholders seeks to ensure that the mechanism will become a systematic input, shaping continuous feedback loops between vocational education and training (VET) and changing labour market needs. The roadmap also advocates steps for ensuring robust skills intelligence as a strategic reference point for the design of skills policies that can support Greece's recovery to sustainable economic growth and competitiveness. This report, and the consensus-based policy roadmap developed, provides further direction so that timely skills intelligence can strategically support Greece's recovery to sustainable economic growth and competitiveness.
