Description

Sector Skills Alliances shall aim at tackling skills gaps, enhancing the responsiveness of initial and continuing VET systems to
sector specific labour market needs and demand for new skills with regard to one or more occupational profiles.

This should be achieved by:

   - modernising VET by adapting to skills needs and integrating work based learning and exploiting its potential to drive economic
     development and innovation, notably at local and regional levels, increasing the competitiveness of the sectors concerned;
   - strengthening the exchange of knowledge and practice between vocational education and training institutions and the labour market
     integrating work-based learning facilitating labour mobility, mutual trust and increased recognition of qualifications at European level
     within the sectors concerned.

The sectors that will be eligible under this action are sectors with skills imbalances, to which current Commission policies respond:

   - Manufacturing & Engineering
   - Commerce
   - Information and communication technology
   - Environmental technologies (Eco-innovation)
   - Cultural and creative sectors
   - Health care
   - Tourism
