Cedefop has launched a call for tender with the reference: “Governance of EU skills anticipation and matching systems: in-depth country reviews”.

The estimated total budget is 1,000,000 €.

The purpose of this contract is to support Cedefop in carrying out in-depth reviews of the governance process of skills anticipation and matching activities within a selected group of EU+ countries (i.e. EU28, Norway and Iceland). The contractor will work together with Cedefop to develop and apply an iterative and evolutionary methodology, involving an analytical framework for reviewing skills governance infrastructure and processes within a country, raw and secondary data collection and analysis.
