OECD Skills Strategy Lithuania
Assessment and Recommendations
Skills are the key to shaping a better future and central to the capacity of countries and people to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and rapidly changing world. Megatrends such as globalisation, technological advances, and demographic change are reshaping work and society, generating a growing demand for higher levels and new sets of skills.
OECD Skills Strategy projects provide a strategic and comprehensive approach to assess countries’ skills challenges and opportunities and help them build more effective skills systems. The OECD works collaboratively with countries to develop policy responses that are tailored to each country’s specific skills needs. The foundation of this approach is the OECD Skills Strategy Framework, which allows for an exploration of what countries can do better to: 1) develop relevant skills over the life course; 2) use skills effectively in work and in society; and 3) strengthen the governance of the skills system.
This report, OECD Skills Strategy Lithuania: Assessment and Recommendations, identifies opportunities and makes recommendations for Lithuania to better equip young people with skills for work and life, raise adults’ and enterprises’ participation in learning, use people’s skills more effectively in workplaces, and strengthen the governance of skills policies.
Strengthening the governance of skills policies in Lithuania
Effective governance arrangements are enabling conditions for improving Lithuania’s performance in developing and using people’s skills. They facilitate co‑ordination across the whole-of-government, support the effective engagement of stakeholders, and enable the development of integrated information systems and co‑ordinated skills financing arrangements. This chapter reviews current practices and the performance of Lithuania’s skills governance. It then explores three opportunities to strengthen the governance of Lithuania’s skills policies: 1) increasing the capacity and co‑ordination of governmental and non‑governmental actors across the skills system; 2) enhancing skills information and career guidance systems and practices; and 3) ensuring well-targeted, sustainable and shared funding of Lithuania’s skills policies.
