Important concepts
• European Sector Skills Council:
Platform at European level for improving skills intelligence, highlighting skills mismatches and for shaping the educational and training offer correspondingly.
Such Sector Skills Councils exist already for fashion design & production, and commerce.
• ESCO:
The European multilingual classification of skills/competences, qualifications and occupations will include occupational profiles (with respective skills/competences lists) per economic sector.
It will not set up competence standards though.
