The Career Pathways initiative addresses the critical sectoral priority of aligning vocational education and training (VET) with labour market needs. It aims to identify current and future skills demands across various occupations and provide career pathways to training and employment for adults, including those who are unemployed or at risk of unemployment. It includes providing comprehensive data for employers, policymakers, planners, and VET providers on skills and training needs in national and regional markets. By offering timely labour market data, it supports the development of training pathways for individuals seeking new skills and employment. Importantly, it enhances the capacity of VET providers to adapt their programs to meet emerging labour market requirements by developing new educational and training opportunities. Additionally, it introduces innovative tools for both individuals seeking training and VET providers. In this book the project partners explore the development of the tools and the practical uses in Spanish, Greek and Portuguese contexts and offer recommendations for the future.
