Custom hierarchy

Better suited for sector-specific skills Various levels of granularity Clear descriptions of concepts

m:n relation –skills can often be assigned to a large number of economic sectors

Not applicable to transversal skills Not intuitive for end users

Economic sectors (NACE)

Better suited for sector-specific skills Might be highly relevant for future linking of skills

with qualifications

m:n relation Not easily applicable to transversal skills

Fields of education and training (ISCED-F)

Extensive list of products and services (3,218) Can express how product/service knowledge is

applied in knowledge, skills and competences

m:n relation Not applicable to transversal skills Potential overlap with economic sectors and with

ESCO knowledge concepts

Services and products (CPA)

m:n relation – most skills can be performed at several work places

No descriptions of the concepts List is not regularly maintained

Work context (Kompetenzklassifikation)

Can help to create a "map of skills" Already tested in ESCO v1 with clearly defined

relationships Provides a bridge between transversal skills and

specific skills

Metholodogical refinement needed High effort for maintenance

Skills contextualisation

Today First exchange of ideas Identify any additional need for information

Next meeting Discuss each potential approach in detail

After Consultation of the Member States Working

Group Stepwise implementation
