We note that the need to anticipate on necessary competences is now inescapable: it will determine the quality of our interventions. There is an important amount of information existing that can be highlight to the members, e.g. at the Cedefop.

A lot of our organisations are already actively involved in the competences' approach. That is a richness to be exploited.

We have to ensure that EVTA and the member organisations are positioned to play a lead role in raising competency levels in Europe in the face of economic and social challenges.

Points of attention: companies sectors, generic competences and skills shortages,
