SUMMARY:FGB Knowledge Apero: How countries respond to skills shortages: Insights from international skills intelligence systems and employer surveys
DESCRIPTION:This FGB Knowledge Apero will explore how Europe can better understand and respond to skills shortages and gaps\, drawing on recent findings from the SkillsPULSE project. \nThe event will present two complementary strands of work: a survey of employers capturing their direct experience of skills shortages and gaps\, and a mapping of national and regional institutional responses\, including policies\, programmes and initiatives designed to address them. Together\, these findings offer insights into how skills shortages are experienced on the ground\, how public institutions are responding\, and where further action may be needed. \nFollowing the presentations\, invited discussants will reflect on the findings and bring additional perspectives to the debate. The discussion will address questions such as: What do employers’ experiences reveal about the nature and scale of skills shortages? How are national and regional institutions responding to these challenges? Which approaches appear most promising\, and where are the gaps? And how can these insights help shape future policy and project work? \nKnowledge Apéro is an after-work informal gathering with invited guests for sharing discussion and wine. Networks bring inspiration\, multiplying the dimensions of value generated by individuals\, institutions\, and companies. \n\nLocation: Fondazione Giacomo Brodolini. Avenue Marnix\, 19A.
