Re-Thinking Europe's Skill Needs, the new Quaderno by FGB
On Tuesday, 29 October 2024, the book Re-Thinking Europe’s Skill Needs: Reflections Following the European Year of Skills, published by Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini, will be presented during the European conference of the project SkillsPULSE: Skills – Predicting, Understanding, and Locating Shortages in Europe, featuring some of the most renowned skills experts in Europe.
The volume is part of the Quaderni series curated by Fondazione Brodolini, and is edited by Liga Baltina, Head of FGB's Labour Market & Skills Research Unit, and Terence Hogarth, Professor at the Institute for Employment Research, University of Warwick, and member of FGB's scientific committee.
Stemming from the increased fluidity of Europe's labour market and the growing need to anticipate emerging skill needs, especially considering the recent and ongoing economic, social, political and environmental crises, the publication provides examples of how emerging skill needs and skill imbalances can be better anticipated.
It also offer guidance on how to define specific skill needs and effectively deliver them, focusing on the key challenges of Europe's labour market – labour shortages, the growth of green jobs, the impact of AI – and presenting case studies of effective and fair skill infrastructures in different European countries, such as England, France, Poland and Spain.
The publication, which will be available for download from FGB's website from 29 October 2024, contains contributions by: Łukasz Arendt, Liga Baltina, Anaïs Chatagnon, Herman Cherniaiev, Eamonn Davern, Barbara De Micheli, Peter Dickinson, Maria Laura Fornaci, Paolo Gubitta, Terence Hogarth, Ilias Livanos, Seamus McGuinness, John McGrath, José Moratal Miñana, Costanza Pagnini, Robert Pater, Konstantinos Pouliakas, Paul Redmond, Iván Diego Rodríguez, Greta Scarpato, Matteo Sgarzi, Elisa Staffa.
