SkillsPULSE research seminar “Skills signals: leveraging online job vacancies and big data to identify skills shortages and gaps”
This SkillsPULSE hybrid event will take place on 4 June from 14:00 to 17:00 CET at the University of Lodz, Faculty of Economics and Sociology (Poland), and online, in collaboration with the Committee for Labour and Social Policy of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Join us for this research seminar as we explore how online job vacancy data and other big data sources can be leveraged to identify skill shortages and gaps in the labour market.
This hybrid event will provide an opportunity to gather feedback from Polish stakeholders on the methodologies and results presented by four Horizon projects: SkiLMeeT, SKILLAB, TRAILS and SkillsPULSE, while also fostering a dialogue on how these approaches align with national practices and inform policies to address skills mismatches in the European labour market.
