What needs to be done
- Break down the policy silos: Align employment and
training to economic development – and vice versa
- Capacity, and willingness, to broaden the
employment and training agenda: role of employment services, colleges & universities, VET
- Local flexibility in managing employment and
training programmes
- Mutual horizontal accountability

Conclusions
- Skills utilisation should be a strategic priority
as part of our responses to the job crisis
- Strong implications for policy and guidance
to institutions
- Strong governance implications: local
dimension is key, policy flexibility, capacities
