Hi Vitaly Kopnov , indeed it takes quite some time, but what if you would get more help, more time, more resources to change your occupation, would the transition be quicker?

Certainly, I'd like to underline only that to become qualified in some area you need, for instance, one year or two by getting a Master's award. To become skulfull you need more time, and to upskill to being an expert - I need 10 years.

Dear Amy Cheng , welcome! You are raising a lot of important topics related to the modernization of VET. On our platform we have many experts covering different aspects of VET governance. If you have some specific issues you’d like to discuss with your peers from all over the world, you may post them on “What’s new” section and let’s start new conversation! We stay in touch!

Margareta Nikolovska , many thanks for links. Definitely, i will use them during implementation of our new EU funded UNDP implemented "VET for Future project"!

hi Jon, your work sounds very interesting! what technology/taxonomy do you use to make sense of the data?We have developed ESCO- an EU taxonomy of skills and occupations that can be used for big data analysis of skills demand and supply (already in use by CEDEFOP). Let me know if you are interested in a call to further discuss this. Best regards, Laura

Hi Laura, many thanks for your very accurate question. Classification will indeed be one of the key elements towards successful analysis. Would love to further discuss on this. Could you maybe share your contact details through DM? Best regards, Jon

Since entrepreneurship as key competence (see EntreComp https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/publication/eur-scientific-and-technical-re…) includes more than just financial and economic literacy, but also social and personal competence, including motivation, self-awareness, creativity and team working skills (to name some of the most important ones), the use of ACTIVE teaching and learning methods is required for their development in contrast to traditional teacher instruction. Hence, letting students work in pairs or small groups, collaboratively, contributes to the development of social and personal competence, which is crucial for the development of an entrepreneurial mind-set. The term mind-set already highlights that being entrepreneurial is about behaviour not just knowledge. Therefore, the role of the teacher or trainer to design a conducive learning environment based on solid pedagogical competence is crucial (See EntreComp Edu http://entrecompedu.eu/ and teachers’ guide file:///C:/Users/fka/Downloads/Guide_Entrepreneurship%20Education_2014_EN.pdf). There are good examples of teaching and learning approaches from EU projects like YouthStart http://youthstartproject.eu/want-to-implement/; or the EEE project https://www.eee-platform.eu/entrepreneurship-teaching-toolkit/; or EntreLearn https://www.schooleducationgateway.eu/en/pub/teacher_academy/teaching_m…

Jobs will exist in 20 years to include new ones. The difference will be that DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION will govern how we DESIGN good and services - how we MAKE things and PROVIDE services - and, how we USE goods and services THAT'S ALL. so we must get moving on the issue of digital transformation in work and living.

Welcome on board! Mr Jamal

Thank you very much Mr. Sajid.
