qualifications and professionalisation of traditionally low-skilled jobs;
in the Member States - initiatives on validation of non-formal learning, awareness raising, financial incentives, new work organisation.

To achieve the benchmarks:
reforms underway in Member States, but need to be speeded up;
achievement of Lisbon target depends on employment among four key sections of the population: women of prime working age, young people, older workers, and disadvantaged groups;
continuation of current trends means a significant number of new jobs will be in occupations requiring high levels of education, and in traditionally low-skill jobs.
