Australia. Economic modelling of skills demand and supply

Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:

Economic modelling which draws out the skills implications of a range of scenarios. The modelling examines both the demand for post-school qualifications (demand by industry) and the supply of new post-school qualifications (completions by domestic students and those provided through net migration). The modelling is conducted at both the national level and for each State/Territory with the focus of results in this report at the national level. The projections in this report are a reflection of the assumptions made for each of the scenarios. The data presented over the period 2010 to 2025 should not be considered forecasts. Rather, they should be viewed as projections and considered with regards to the assumptions described in this report.

UK. Preparing graduates for the world of work

Employers will train their employees to do their jobs but they expect graduates to have the broad range of abilities to make a smooth transition to the workplace. Graduates should be willing to learn and develop, bring new ideas and contribute to the business’ development and future growth. The majority of businesses say employability skills are an important factor they consider when recruiting graduates and ensuring universities provide their students with the opportunity to develop in this area should be a priority.

Canada. Preparing Canada’s Youth for the Jobs of Tomorrow

Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:

With the rising clout of a number of emerging-market economies (like India and China), Canada will need to continuously develop new sources of comparative advantage, deeply rooted in the quality of its workforce.
Equipping young people with the skills and knowledge to successfully transition and integrate into the labour market will help them reach their full potential and will ensure Canada’s economy remains competitive in the years to come.

Canada/Manitoba. Leveraging Government and Industry Partnerships for Essential Skills Training

Canada's 21st century workplace needs a workforce that's efficient, effective and adaptable, and Canadians need the skills required to be successful at work. All of which depends on workers having the appropriate combination of the nine essential skills.
But Canadian employers continue to report skilled labour shortages, and workers with essential skills gaps struggle to find and maintain meaningful employment. Meanwhile, advancing workplace technology and changing workplace requirements are raising the bar for essential skills-based knowledge required to support workplace success. Clearly, innovative solutions are needed.

The Effect of Early Entrepreneurship Education: Evidence from a Randomized Field Experiment

This study analyzes the effectiveness of early entrepreneurship education. To this end, we conduct a randomized field experiment to evaluate a leading entrepreneurship education program that is taught worldwide in the final grade of primary school. We focus on pupils' development of relevant skill sets for entrepreneurial activity, both cognitive and non-cognitive. The results indicate that cognitive entrepreneurial skills are unaffected by the program. However, the program has a robust positive effect on non-cognitive entrepreneurial skills. This is surprising since previous evaluations found zero or negative effects. Because these earlier studies all pertain to education for adolescents, our result tentatively suggests that non-cognitive entrepreneurial skills are best developed at an early age.
