Skill needs

The European skills and jobs survey (ESJS) is Cedefop’s own periodic EU-wide survey aimed at collecting information on the skill requirements, skill mismatches and initial and continuing learning of adult workers in EU labour markets. The first ESJS wave, carried out in the context of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, collected comprehensive contextual information about the incidence and reasons underlying the emergence of skill mismatches in EU job markets.

The Short-term anticipation of skills trends and VET demand data (STAS) produces short-term projections of employment by occupation in the EU up to two years ahead of from the last period of available data.
