The OECD launch presentation for the report, "OECD Skills Strategy Luxembourg: Assessment and Recommendations", on 23 February 2023.
The report identifies opportunities and makes recommendations to provide labour-market relevant adult learning opportunities, guide and incentivise skills choices, attract and retain foreign talent to fill skills shortages, and strengthen the governance of skills data in Luxembourg.
The document discusses skills strategies and priorities in Luxembourg. It identifies four priority areas: 1) providing labour market relevant adult learning opportunities, 2) guiding and incentivizing skills choices, 3) attracting and retaining talent to fill skills shortages, and 4) strengthening the governance of skills data. Under the first priority, it notes opportunities to improve access to adult learning, coordination among actors, and alignment of training with skills needs. The second priority focuses on guidance for skills choices, skills information collection and use by enterprises, and financial incentives. The third priority addresses Luxembourg's reliance on foreign workers. The fourth concerns governance of skills data.
The document discusses the OECD Skills Strategy for Poland. It notes that skills are important for individual well-being and economic prosperity. However, many Polish adults have low foundational skills and relatively few participate in adult learning. The strategy aims to make the education system more responsive to labor market needs, foster greater participation in adult learning, strengthen skills use in workplaces, and improve governance of the skills system. Specific opportunities discussed include expanding career counseling, strengthening collaboration between education institutions and employers, raising awareness of adult learning benefits, and better targeting financing to increase adult participation.

CINOP International Agency was designated as the EQAVET and ECVET National Coordination Point for the Netherlands. As the EQAVET NCP, it represents the country in the European EQAVET network and links European policy to national policy and practice. It disseminates EQAVET information and coordinates the Netherlands' involvement in related activities. As the ECVET NCP, it provides information on ECVET and oversees opportunities for its implementation in the Netherlands. Both NCPs aim to improve quality assurance and recognition of learning outcomes in vocational education.
Higher Education in Norway - Labour Market Relevance and OutcomesEduSkills OECD
The higher education system in Norway generally produces graduates with good skills and labour market outcomes. This success can be largely attributed to Norway’s robust and inclusive labour market and recent higher education reforms to improve quality. However, some Norwegian students have poor labour market outcomes and past success is no guarantee of future success, especially as the Norwegian economy upskills and diversifies. This report provides advice and recommendations to improve the labour market relevance and the outcomes of higher education in Norway. The analysis finds that there is an opportunity to expand work-based learning opportunities, improve career guidance, and do a better job of using innovative learning and teaching practices to improve labour market relevance across the system. The report concludes that Norwegian policy makers have a larger role to play in steering the system. Policy makers can set the conditions for greater labour market relevance by strengthening the mechanism for collaboration between higher education institutions and employers, ensuring better coordination and use of labour market information, and redoubling efforts to support quality learning and teaching. This report was developed as part of the OECD Enhancing Higher Education System Performance project.
Among the millions of asylum seekers who recently arrived in OECD countries, the majority are young people who may be able to take advantage of vocational education and training(VET) opportunities to help them enter skilled employment. This report provides advice to governments and other stakeholders who are seeking to use VET to promote integration,in particular for young humanitarian migrants. While the study draws particularly on policy and practice observed in Germany, Italy, Sweden and Switzerland, it also highlights other international practices. The report focuses on the main channels through which migrants succeed in VET. It is essential that migrants are fully informed about the opportunities VET provision offers and that they have access to high quality preparatory programmes enabling access to upper-secondary VET. Once in such provision, targeted support should help them to complete VET programmes successfully. OECD countries are putting in place innovative measures to achieve better outcomes for both migrants and for economies as a whole. Ultimately this report argues that VET systems can become stronger, more flexible and more inclusive, when working better for all students,including those with diverse and vulnerable backgrounds.
This document summarizes the key findings and policy relevance of the 2014 Education and Training Monitor report. It finds that while 19 EU member states cut education spending in 2012, underinvestment risks undermining Europe's economic growth potential. It also notes that education systems need to better develop students' employability and address inequalities to fully realize their potential. Additionally, reducing early school leaving remains important to help more individuals complete qualifications and protect against poverty. The Monitor provides evidence to inform the European Semester process and help progress education targets.
The document summarizes the key findings of the 2013 Education and Training Monitor report. It discusses how the economic crisis has challenged European education systems through public finance consolidation and youth unemployment. Specifically, it notes that 16 member states decreased education spending between 2008-2011, with cuts most prevalent in tertiary education. The employment rate of recent graduates has also declined since 2008. It emphasizes that skills and qualifications will be key to Europe's economic success but that current skills levels in Europe do not fully meet labor market needs. Overall the report examines investments, outcomes and efficiency in European education and training systems.
The Bordeaux Communiqué summarizes the priorities and strategies of the Copenhagen process on enhancing cooperation in European vocational education and training. It discusses progress made since 2002 in developing tools to improve transparency and recognition of skills between countries. Key priorities going forward include implementing these tools at national levels, increasing quality and attractiveness of vocational training systems, better linking training to labor market needs, and strengthening European cooperation on vocational education.
The document discusses frameworks and tools developed by the European Commission to support the professional development of academics in digital competencies and open education practices. It summarizes the DigCompEdu and OpenEdu frameworks, which describe the digital skills and open education practices academics need. It also describes the DigCompEdu self-assessment tool, which allows educators to evaluate their digital skills levels. Finally, it discusses challenges to professional development in higher education and examples of innovative practices to overcome these challenges.
Ubachs and Antonaci - Microcredentials_and_modularisation 3.pptxEADTU
The document discusses micro-credentials and modular education in Europe. It notes that the COVID-19 pandemic increased demand for short, tailored learning opportunities, leading to greater interest in micro-credentials. These certify small learning experiences and help learners update skills. The EU is developing a framework for micro-credentials to support lifelong learning and employability. The MCE project aims to further develop micro-credentials and modular education through exploring learner perspectives, supporting higher education institutions, and testing case studies and pilots.

OECD Skills Strategy Implementation Guidance for Flanders, BelgiumOECD Centre for Skills
This OECD Skills Strategy Implementation Guidance report presents a model for the segmentation of the adult learning population in Flanders, which resulted in the identification of nine representative learner profiles. These profiles provide unique insights into the diversity of factors that affect decisions to participate in learning, including motivation, obstacles to learning, socio-demographic characteristics, and labour market characteristics. These profiles will assist Flanders’ reflections on how to target and tailor existing and new lifelong learning policies to the needs of learners.
Helping people to develop and use skills effectively is crucial for people and countries to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and rapidly changing world. Fully recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic will also require countries to reskill workers who have lost their jobs and to adopt new strategies for making effective use of people’s skills in and out of the workplace.
In helping to achieve this, the OECD assesses skills challenges and opportunities, and looks to help countries to build more effective skills systems through tailor-made policy responses, while using the OECD Skills Strategy framework as its foundation.

17. The coherence of adult learning opportunities would be
improved through a national adult learning strategy
Recommendation
1.1. Develop a long-term strategy for adult
learning in Luxembourg with all relevant actors
including clear goals and implementation
milestones, identifying the actions to be taken,
allocating responsibilities to all actors, having a
regular monitoring and updating process in
place and earmarking funding for its
implementation.

18. An adult learning quality assurance system should
ensure quality of adult learning programmes
Minimal threshold to become an approved
adult learning provider (i.e. “conditions
d'honorabilité” + professional qualification)
Lack of national quality standards for adult
learning providers
Lack of transparency for individuals and
training procuring institutions to identify quality
adult learning programmes
Recommendation
1.7. Establish an adult learning quality
assurance system outlining a clear vision and a
roadmap for achieving quality in adult learning
programmes. The process of creating such a
vision and roadmap could be led by MENJE and
involve all relevant actors, such as from other
ministries, employer, and employee
representatives, among others

22. Recommendation
2.2. Develop an engagement strategy to
more actively involve employer and
employee representatives in guidance
services.

programme
Employers and employee representatives need to be engaged in
regularly evaluating and updating the content of guidance services
Scope for greater employer and
employee engagement with day to
day guidance services
Co-design and co-delivery of
innovative career guidance services
could be improved
Relevant international practice

23. Recommendation
2.8. Target more of the financial incentives within
the existing co-financing scheme to support
smaller employers to train.
Belgium’s Crédit-adaptation scheme
Share of employers by size benefitting from the
co-financing scheme in Luxembourg, 2018

27. A shortage occupation list would facilitate the
recruitment of foreign talent
Recommendation
3.2 Prepare a list of shortage occupations for
talent admission purposes, updated on a
regular basis.
Relevant international practice

tool for channeling labour market
needs into migration policy, focused
on highly qualified workers
Shortages are reported by employers
across sectors and in occupations
requiring other than high-level
qualifications
27
28. The integration of foreign talent and their families requires
sufficient language training
Recommendation
3.10 Strengthen language training for
foreign talent by raising awareness of the
linguistic leave, by extending the scope of
subsidies for language training under CAI
and by boosting the supply and monitoring
of language courses.
Room to improve uptake of linguistic
leave
Support for language training under
the Welcome and Integration contract
(CAI) could be more ambitious
Need to strengthen the supply of
language training to accommodate
demand
Space to strengthen the monitoring of
training

30. Skills data is crucial for the design and implementation of skills
policies in all priority areas of the Skills Strategy
All data relevant for skills
policy making, most
importantly labour market
and education and
training data
Skills data – what?
Tailoring the education and training offer to
respond to fast changing labour market
needs
Guiding and incentivising individual skills
choices to reduce skills gaps and
mismatches
Recruiting the right foreign talent to fill skills
shortages
Skills data – why?
Addressing challenges in adult learning
provision through a data-driven approach
30
31. Luxembourg skills data governance could be improved
on two key dimensions
1. Quality 2. Coordination of, and
synergies between, skills data
within and beyond Luxembourg
31
32. The quality of skills data collection would be improved
through strengthening occupational social security data
Recommendation
4.1 Improve the accuracy of occupational
social security data by creating targeted
incentives for employers, strengthening
existing guidance tools for identifying the
correct occupational codes, and conducting
targeted awareness raising.
CCSS data is a key data source on
employed individuals in Luxembourg’s
labour market covering both residents
and cross-border workers
Yet, ISCO codes are entered correctly
only in about 30% of cases
Relevant international practice

coding tool with probability scores
and descriptions of tasks associated
with each suggested occupation
32
33. A national skills data charter and action plan would improve
co-ordination of skills data within and beyond Luxembourg
Recommendation
4.10 Develop a national skills data charter
and an action plan with clear roles,
responsibilities and procedures for
government and stakeholders to co-ordinate
improving the relevance and quality of skills
data in Luxembourg in the short and medium
term.
Limited awareness of all the existing skills
data sources, as well as their scope and
accessibility criteria
Efforts for improving Luxembourg’s skills
data collection do not always include all
relevant actors or fully leverage potential
mutual synergies
