SkillsPULSE (Skills – Predicting, Understanding, and Locating Shortages in Europe) is a 3-year (June ’24-June ’27) project, coordinated by (Italy), with 7 partners from 7 European countries:

(Estonia), (Poland), (Ireland), (Greece), (Italy), (Finland), and (UK).

Over the next three years, the SkillsPULSE partners will work together to provide a conceptual review of skills shortages and gaps, and devise a means of measuring their incidence and the extent to which they are likely to arise in the future as a consequence of key changes in the economy, notably digitalisation.

SkillsPULSE contributes to the by strengthening skills intelligence in a way that will facilitate strategic upskilling and provide the evidence base for the development of new training opportunities for young people in emerging STEM areas, and by providing a set of tools for the development of policy initiatives in the areas of education and skills, that can help drive growth in European innovation and competitiveness.

The project will provide a methodology for identifying the extent, causes, and implications of skills deficiencies in Europe. A series of indicators, including a Skills Shortage Index, will be developed and incorporated into a software tool for use by those responsible for labour market skills intelligence at both national and European levels.
