Abstract

Skills development for working world 4.0 and the role of VET mobility

We are dealing with the trasnformation of VET provision due to the ongoing digitization of the work processes and how it will affect the jobs of the future. We are treating it both for IVET and CVET. One of the main constraints for our companies in embracing key enabling techolonigies is the current skills of the staff that don’t match the needs of the new rapidly changing technologcal environemnt. Skills are one of the main precursors of change. I saw that there’s already a speaker on the topic so to avoid overlapping I will concentrate on the soft skills needed and the way the incoming mass mobility in VET will help coping with this issue.
