The next global skills challenge is about tackling the massive imbalances and skills gaps that<br />
exist between developed and emerging economies, skills mismatches which hold back<br />
productivity, competitiveness and development. Skills mismatches obstruct mobility<br />
essential to quality and productivity improvement in business and inward investment. The<br />
conference looks at the experiences and policy dilemmas of G7, BRICS, MENA and Gazelles<br />
country models, transnational companies, and key global business sectors. It will see the<br />
publication of new research on the factors critical to improving vocational and technical<br />
education mobility.<br />
Skills are the new global currency. This ground-breaking event will investigate new<br />
approaches to tackling skills mismatches, including the recognition and validation of skills<br />
from an industry and transnational perspective.
