Europe. Beyond the training gap: learning foundational skills on the job

Europe. Beyond the training gap: learning foundational skills on the job | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
As employers struggle increasingly to find workers who fit the jobs on offer, it has become crucial to equip the European workforce with skills for the jobs of the future. Most lists of such skills drawn up by employers include not only technical (or hard) skills but also foundational (or soft) skills. These can be grouped into three categories: cognitive, interpersonal and self-management. Cognitive skills include critical thinking, problem-solving and analysis. Interpersonal skills include the ability to work in teams and to collaborate, along with communication and emotional intelligence. Self-management skills include self-regulation, resilience and adaptability.

The report concludes that there are clear challenges associated with education, employment and training for all young people across England, and certain fundamental issues that contribute to a young person not participating in education, training or work.
