In this policy conference, we explore how skills intelligence based on online sources can be used to inform labour market, education, training, skills and related policies.

We demonstrate how such sources assist data-driven decision-making and strengthen labour market, and education and training policy and its implementation.

We bring together experts, policymakers, educators, and industry leaders to discuss what it takes to tap the full potential of OJAs and other online sources, and how such data can be used to make skills ecosystems more effective, responsive, and inclusive, to benefit people and economies.

We will discuss best practices and methodologies for extracting meaningful insights from OJAs and from information on training programmes and offers.

To promote policy learning, we will also demonstrate practices from countries or organisations that have successfully integrated big-data methods in their skills intelligence systems or approaches.

The conference will also be an opportunity for policymakers, educators, researchers, and industry stakeholders to meet and discuss practical ways to leverage OJAs, and other types of big data to guide policymaking in employment, education and training, skills, and related policy areas.
