Abstract: In the context of flexicurity, lifelong learning is essential in keeping people in employment. It is important because it ensures initial good quality education, key skills and a good as possible correspondence between new skills and better jobs. The increased flexibility of labour market, due to the need of its adaptability to the new challenges and increased competitiveness, must be balanced by instant flexible lifelong learning programs, which promote innovation and creativity (learning by doing and learning by using). The article defines innovation and skills, investigates the role of labor market skills in the innovation process, describes and quantifies the diversity of skills and occupations involved in specific types of innovation activity. Having in mind Romanian’s low public funding compared to the EU States, the principles of the innovation policy and main directions of action are established in order to promote innovation.
