The message

The project’s acronym reflects linking 4 fair skill utilisation and exchanges between origins and destinations:

It embeds 4 processes of filling in skill gaps: re/up skilling of established populations (incl. migrant populations), raising wages, automations and migration.
It considers 4 continents: Europe, Africa, Asia and America, where skill shortages and skill flows will be considered.
It takes major groups of stakeholders on board of the Participatory Policy Decision Dashboard: EU decision makers and civil servant; inter-governmental institutions; national decision makers via skill and vocational institutions , subnational decision makers and clerks, employers’ organisations, employees’ organisations and civic society’s co-development institutions.

Key questions

Link4Skills addresses three main policy challenges:

How should the EU respond to skill shortages?
How can businesses and policymakers identify skills needed in changing labour markets more effectively?
How can the EU ensure that skills recruitment – both domestically and among the workforces of non-EU countries - is fair and effective?

AI enabled

In collaboration with labor market stakeholders we are co-creating an AI-Assisted Skills Navigator to aid decision-making and support mutually beneficial skill flows. The Navigator will be an open access system available to the public and designed to support the needs of governments, employers, and vocational training organisations.
