2019, Kazan), where the Future Skills zone will be presented for the
first time.

"For the successful training of personnel for the new economy in
the future, we should already today be engaged in designing the
competencies of Future Skills. Therefore, in the framework of the

bio, physical and digital skills.

focused on joining the efforts of different countries in best
practices exchange and finding solutions to the challenges in TVET
and skills development in the new and transforming economies.
Ekaterina Loshkareva invited colleagues to take part in research
projects preceding the conference and its programmed activities.

skilled labour. Today it is an effective tool for training personnel
in accordance with world standards and the needs of new high-tech
industries in 79 countries around the world.
