The study “European vision on steel-related skills of today and tomorrow” was carried out to provide a state-of-play analysis of the European steel sector with regard to skills supply and demand in steelmaking companies. The study also investigated perceptions of current and future skills needs and skills gaps, and possible drivers of these needs and gaps. In addition, it shed light onto the image of careers in the steel industry, identifying the main drivers and barriers that may influence the attractiveness of steelmaking as a possible career choice. Last but not least, it touched upon the issue of policies and initiatives for up-/re-skilling the workforce in the steel sector, and compared the requirements of the industry with the educational offering (both higher and vocational education) available in Europe. The study focused on the production side of steel (areas such as melting shops, finishing areas, rolling mills,maintenance and expeditions, quality control, health and safety, and R&D). This report provides an overview at European level (EU-28), but also entails seven national profiles with country-specific findings: Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain.
