European Defence Skills Partnership concluded work on skills gap analysis
The European Defence Skills Partnership met for the 3rd workshop on 18 September in Brussels. Members representing industry and academia discussed the findings of the research to date, and examined differences and similarities in the industrial base and the approach to defence skills across several EU countries. They commented on the survey preliminary results presented by the research team and discussed how to address the challenges identified and which mitigation measures should be recommended by a European defence skills strategy.
Input gathered will feed into the comprehensive mapping and analysis on the current situation of the skills gap in the European defence sector and anticipated gaps in the next 5-10 years. The results of this exercise will be presented in the report on ‘Common vision on defence related skills for Europe today and tomorrow’, expected in October.
