Validating the 2023 Skills Forecast

Such a network of Individual Country Experts (ICEs) covers all countries the Skills Forecast produces estimates for and contributes to the validation and the further development of it. Cedefop organises regular technical workshops so as to provide a platform for experts to meet and provide feedback to Cedefop. The aim is to involve national experts in the process of preparing the Skills Forecast, drawing on their expertise in the field but also on their knowledge of their country’s labour market. Such an exercise not only validates the Skills Forecast but also facilitates the story-building around the results. The 2022 workshop focused on validating the results of the 2023 release.
