About

Department For Education awarded a contract to RAND Europe Community Interest Company for a labour market and skills demand horizon scanning and qualitative scenarios study.

The work involved scanning the labour market over the next 15-20 years to identify drivers and emerging trends, creating several possible labour market scenarios and assessing their broad implications for the jobs, skills, and qualifications needed in adult and technical education, and critically assessing the role of quantitative skills projections such as Working Futures given their limitations in the current economic environment and the degree of emphasis to place on quantitative versus qualitative evidence.

The contract value was AUD 78,880.
