The webinar explored innovative tools for labour market intelligence, focusing on how jobseekers, employers, and policymakers can benefit from new approaches to analysing labour market trends. Representatives from ELA, EURES, and Cedefop presented recent developments, including:
- latest updates to the Labour Market Information* (LMI) section of the EURES portal;
- job vacancies insights;
- Cedefop's STAS** tool, which provides regular projections of employment trends by occupation and country, helping to align skills provision with labour market demands.
The webinar included a live demonstration of key tools and a moderated Q&A session to interact with speakers and gain practical insights.

(*)The Labour Market Information (LMI) section of the EURES portal assists both jobseekers seeking opportunities abroad and employers searching for workers from different countries. The latest update of the LMI pages introduces new content and style, presented in a structured data-based approach comparable across countries and regions, while highlighting regional specificities and labour market trends.
(**) Effective and responsive skills anticipation is vital for ensuring that skills provision aligns with labour market developments and trends. The STAS tool addresses this by providing regular, short-term projections of employment by occupation and Member State. This complements Cedefop’s suite of existing tools for skills intelligence and foresight and online job advertisement analysis. The presentation will explore how the tool works, along with the latest projections and key trends in the EU labour market, highlighting how occupational demands are shifting across sectors and countries.
