The poster presents the project "Active Matching: Strategic Support of Labour Market Counselling" which aims to identify, compare and evaluate a tool (method) for monitoring, analysis and prognosis of skills and qualification needs in regional labour markets in the Czech Republic and in Sweden. Furthermore, the project aims to innovate the tool using the best from both of the models (the Czech one and the Swedish one) and to test functionality and applicability of the innovated tool in conditions of a regional labour market in the Czech Republic. 200 employers in the Czech regional labour market have been interviewed and asked about demanded skills for different occupations in short-term (up to one year) as well as in long-term (3 years) perspective. Then, interviewing and the matching process will be evaluated. Once the applicability has been assessed, we want to draw recommendations for implementation of the innovated tool in a Czech labour market counselling practice and for a more effective matching process. We assume that thorough knowledge of contents of skills requested by employers is one of the key preconditions for improvement of labour market counselling and for effective matching of the unemployed to job vacancies.
