Development of Future Skills in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in Saxony: The ZuKo4Saxony Project
摘要
Future skills refer directly to those skills and competencies that are likely to be in high demand in the coming years as society and the workplace evolve and adapt to technological advances and the changing economic landscape. Academics and practitioners agree that these skills will enable graduates to meet the challenges of the future in the best possible way [1]. The authors of this paper wish to present in this article the following aspects: (1) the scientific arguments that support a project about future skills in companies from Saxony (Germany); (2) to present a model and framework of future skills based in the previous works of Ehlers [1–3] and Kotsiou et al. [7] among others; and (3) the first results of a survey aimed at obtaining current and relevant information and data on future competences/skills and will map trends and needs of various production and service sectors in the Saxony region.
