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
