Digitization is increasingly shaping the world of work. While computerisation has until recently been confined to routine tasks involving explicit rule-based activities, algorithms for big data are now rapidly entering domains reliant upon pattern recognition and can readily substitute for labour in a wide range of non-routine cognitive tasks. Advanced robots are gaining enhanced senses and dexterity, allowing them to perform a broader scope of manual tasks. This will change the nature of work across industries and occupations.A recent study (The Future Of Employment: How Susceptible Are Jobs To Computerisation, Oxford 2013) estimated the probability of computerisation for 700 occupations, and examined the impacts of future computerisation on the labour market. According to their estimate, 47 percent of total employment is in the high risk category, and many occupations are potentially automatable over the next decade or two.This means that most workers in transportation, logistics and in production are likely to be substituted by computers, as industrial robots are taking on the routine tasks of most operations.But also, many office support professions are endangered. Here, algorithms for big data are already rapidly entering domains that deal with storing or accessing information, making it probable that office and administrative support occupations will be subject to computerisation.More surprising is that also a substantial share of employment in services and sales will become the victim of computerisation in the near future. These findings are largely in line with recent documented technological developments including interactive tasks. and will concern, for example, cashiers, counter and rental clerks, or telemarketers. By taking this development into consideration, it becomes evident that employers will put more emphasis on basic and transversal competences and on creative and social skillsTherefore, the overall objective of our project is to raise awareness about these developments, and how this will require continuous skill adaptations, especially on personal competences and soft skills. Our aim is to inform people working in the labour market service and in vocational orientation and education about successful initiatives and methods for training, developing and self- improvement of personal skills, and for evaluating and assessing personal development and competences. In order to reach this objective, the specific objectives are1)To implement an e-platform with an interactive database, searchable after various parameters, that describes and gives access to initiatives, tools and methods and other materials that have been identified and collected in the course of the project, concerning the development and self- improvement of personal skills and competences and their evaluation and assessment. 2)To elaborate a Catalogue “Skills and Competences for Work in Industry 4.0” which will give an overview about the current situation of the specific project environment in the partners’ countries. It will be enriched with the outcomes of the transnational meetings of the four meetings in each partner country where experts from the respective national and local labour market and vocational counselling organisations will discuss these issues with the representatives of our strategic partnership. 3)To organise an online interactive Forum for exchange of experience and good practice that will promote networking and exchange activities not only among the partnership and VET organisations in their countries, but also on a European level. With new translation services, it will become possible to break down language barriers between users from different countries, and to foster exchange and assist initiatives that contribute to the European society as a whole.The target group of our project are VET and adult education trainers and labour market policy organisations that will make use of the identified and selected materials to design and offer respective measures for adults who need to adapt their skills and personal competences to the needs of the 21st century labour market.
