Strategische und methodische Ansatzpunkte zur Ermittlung des regionalen Qualifikationsbedarfs

The results concerning evaluation studies of training measures are contradictory. The majority of impact analyses give an inconsistent picture about the employment effects. Some empirical analyses show that the systematic monitoring of qualification needs on the regional level can lead to better results. This is the starting point of this report: The question is to what extent the analysis of regional qualification needs contribute to a more efficient vocational education and training system on the one hand, and to a better matching in the labour market one the other hand. A proposal is developed on how the systematic analyses could be organized - also under consideration of cost-effectiveness. The focus of the report lies in methodological as well as in institutional aspects of developing a regional information base. A combination of quantitative forecasts and qualitative partial analysis is suggested. This system is meant to be integrated into existing regional networks to support a target-oriented, integrated regional labour market, training and structural policy.
