Advancing Skills Intelligence in Post-Secondary & Higher Education: Anticipation, Alignment, and the Future of Work
The mission of the International Forum on Skills Intelligence (IFSI) is to establish a global platform for advancing the emerging interdisciplinary practice of skills intelligence (analysis, anticipation and alignment) in post-secondary and higher education.
The forum responds to the long-held challenge in establishing data-driven mechanisms and partnerships that bridge the gap between the demands of the labour market and the supply of agile and responsive education and training systems.
