SkillsPULSE study on employers’ skills needs

As part of the SkillsPULSE project, we are launching a strategic study aimed at gathering direct input from employers, HR directors, industry associations, and chambers of commerce across all sectors in Europe on current and emerging skills demands.

The purpose of the survey is to understand the extent to which organizations are able to obtain the skills they need to remain competitive. It focuses on recent experiences related to staff recruitment, skills shortages, and the training and upskilling of employees.

The evidence collected will support European and national policymakers in improving the alignment between skills supply and labour market demand across Europe.

Participants will receive a copy of the survey analysis report, enabling them to benchmark their results against national and European averages. They will also be invited to an online workshop to discuss the study results with experts and stakeholders, and will have the opportunity to opt in for early access to, and testing of, the SkillsPULSE composite indicator on skills gaps, as well as a demonstration of the IT tool developed within the project.

Employers based in Poland, Italy, Greece, Ireland, Finland, and Estonia are invited to share their experiences with recruitment, skills needs, and shortages. Completing this survey takes approximately 15 minutes and will contribute to evidence-based research supporting EU policymaking.
