• What needed now is not necessarily needed for the future;
and vice versa.
• We need to prepare future needs from now.
• Mapping of jobs and skills need in the world of work is
needed to develop education and training programmes that
can provide future needs.
• Do mapping on a regular basis.
• Carry out dialogue on a regular basis.
• Require all relevant parties: government, employers and job seekers
and workers.
