2 Presentation Overview ELGPN EU State of Play in employment and education & training European tools and actions and the role of guidance: (transparency tools, skills intelligence, Youth Employment Package) Agenda-setting: Rethinking Education

3 European Lifelong Guidance Policy Network (ELGPN)

4 State of play in employment and education & training in the EU (some indicators)

5 Youth unemployment Rising youth unemployment risk of lasting scarring effects

6 Youth Unemployment by country Youth unemployment rates by country (year-on-year changes), 09/2012 > 30 % in 6 countries > 20 % in 12 countries > 10 % in 6 countries < 10 % in 3 countries DE, AT, NL NEET youth: > 15 % in 7 countries (2011)

7 What qualifications will Europe need by 2020?

8 Rates of Early School Leaving (ESL) must improve significantly to reach the 2020 target Source: Eurostat (LFS 2011)

9 Basic skills levels are still lacking in many countries Percentage of low achievers in reading (15 year-olds, %), 2009 Source: OECD (PISA)

10 ICT skills levels vary greatly between countries % of individuals with low, medium and high computer skills (2011) Source: Eurostat, Information society Statistics, 2011

11 Great diversity in Vocational Education and Training (VET) Distribution of upper secondary (ISCED 3) students by programme orientation (general or vocational). %, 2010 Source: Eurostat Database, UOE data collection, 2010

13 European tools and actions and the role of guidance: (transparency tools, skills intelligence, early school leaving, youth employment package)

14 Tools for Skills Intelligence European Skills/Competences, qualifications and Ocupations classification (ESCO) EU Skills Panorama: Skills Forecasting

15 ESCO: mutilingual classification of Skills/Competences, qualifications, Occupations Multilingual, Interoperable (open linked data) Enabling skills based matching Linked to Eures Collaboration with stakeholders Timeline: 2017 for a full revision of all economic sectors

16 EU Skills Panorama Skills forecasting (future skills and qualifications needs) Important source of information for lifelong guidance

17 The European Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning (EQF) To increase the transparency and comparability of qualifications throughout Europe First stage: Referencing of national qualifications to the EQF Second stage: EQF/NQF levels indicated on individual qualifications

18 EQF: 8 qualification levels based on LO EQF is based on 8 qualifications levels defined and agreed on the basis of learning outcomes and specified through Knowledge Skills Competence (defined as autonomy and responsibility) Qualifications must describe what a learner is expected to know, be able to do and understand not only the duration and place of learning Lifelong Guidance: it will be easier to understand foreign qualifications EQF Level 8 EQF Level 7 EQF Level 6 EQF Level 5 EQF Level 4 EQF Level 3 EQF Level 2 EQF Level 1

19 The opportunities offered by EQF, ESCO and ESP Stress on the need for a common language bridging education and training and the labour market Focus on learning outcomes and skills and competences as the basis of this common language Involvement and commitment required from both education and labour market stakeholders..

20 Council Recommendation on the validation of Nonformal and informal learning (20/12/2012) By 2018: National arrangements for validation for NFIL linked to NQF: Opportunities for individuals to validate their knowledge, skills and competences acquired through NFIL Opportunities to obtain a qualification on the basis of validated learning outcomes Validation systems should include: Support for identification of learning outcomes Documentation of learning outcomes Assessment of learning outcomes Certification of learning outcomes (e.g. credits or a full qualification)

21 Follow up to the Recommendation: Important role for stakeholders (E&T, Labour Market) in setting up and implementing validation arrangements Revision of the European Guidelines for validating non-formal and informal learning Updating the European Inventory on the validation of NFIL Important role for lifelong guidance: e.g. providing information on validation opportunities, identification and documentation of learning outcomes, guidance throughout the validation procedure

22 Council Recommendation on Early School leaving (2011): Framework for coherent, comprehensive and evidence based policies against early school leaving Member States agreed to work together and to facilitate an exchange of practices and knowledge on the most effective ways to combat early school leaving Emphasis on the need to strengthening guidance to support students career choices, as it reduces poor decision making based on false expectations or insufficient information and helps young people to make choices which meet their ambitions, personal interests and talents

23 Youth Employment Package Youth Employment Package adopted by the European Commission in December 2012 Council Recommendation on establishing a Youth Guarantee Youth Employment Initiative by the European Council in Feb 2013: 6 Billion during for combating European youth unemployment "European Alliance for Apprenticeships" and of improved mobility of young workers Leipzig 2 July 2013 (world skills)

24 Youth Guarantee Council Recommendation on the Youth Guarantee of so that Member States ensure that all young people up to 25 receive a good-quality offer of employment, continued education, an apprenticeship or a traineeship within four months of leaving school or becoming unemployed. Youth Guarantee schemes need to be implemented by Member States at relevant level of governance (national, regional, local coordinating body), should consider the needs of different groups of young people: strong partnerships between all stakeholders early intervention and activation supportive measures enabling labour market integration full use of EU Structural Funds assessment and continuous improvement of the schemes rapid implementation

25 Financing the Youth Guarantee Youth Guarantees represent a positive investment: Cost of Youth Guarantees (ILO 2012) Economic costs of NEETs (Eurofound 2012) Eurozone, years 26 Member States (all except Malta), years About 0.22% of GDP EUR 21 billion 1.21% of GDP EUR 153 billion

26 Youth Guarantee: the role of lifelong guidance Building/up a partnership-based approach including those with career guidance providers, education and employment, social partners, youth Ensure that young people have full information before leaving school on education, employment, career options, support services Early intervention and activation in employment services (public, private, non-profit) focusing on young vulnerable people facing multiple barriers Considering to establish "focal points" (one-stop shops for youth) Effective outreach strategies / guidance and individual action planning such as individual support schemes based upon mutual obligation, monitoring and follow-up

27 Rethinking Education: Investing in skills for better socio-economic outcomes

28 Rethinking Education: one Communication, seven Staff Working Documents Education and Training Monitor Country analysis Key Competences Partnerships and flexible pathways for LL skills development Supporting the teaching professions Language competences for employability, mobility and growth Vocational Education and Training for better skills, growth and jobs

29 New Commission initiatives Enhanced support to Member States Monitoring of progress, OMC, OECD collaboration European area of skills and qualifications EU-level Alliance for Apprenticeships Funding Education for Growth Opening up Education ICT and OER A new language benchmark Entrepreneurship education actions Partnerships between Education, enterprises and research, promoted through E4A Lifelong Guidance: essential in making these initiatives a success
