19th FGB Knowledge Apero

FGB is a network of change-makers. Our mission is to create real social impact and positive socio-economic progress across nations and cities. Empowered by a strong 50-year history and an unwavering belief in human potential, we strive to transform ideas into policy that paves the way towards better living for all. To do this, we publish research and content with an aim to inform policy across Italy and Europe. We build programs for stakeholders, businesses, entrepreneurs and students to advance their ideas for innovation and progress. We bring our political, economic and social expertise to support institutions in their vision for development. And through it all, we are committed to starting new conversations about what it means to live inclusively in these challenging times. We believe there is a way to create more opportunities for everyone, regardless of any gender, race, culture, belief or nationality. And it starts with knowledge. Knowledge, we believe, is the cornerstone to progress. Which is why the roots of everything we do have always been in the development and sharing of research, ever since we first opened up our doors in 1971 to support the evolution of Labour rights in Italy. Change, we believe, can only happen when you have a deep understanding, the passion to apply it and the drive to improve people’s lives.

How countries respond to skills shortages: Insights from international skills intelligence systems and employer surveys

Giacomo Brodolini Foundation, Avenue Marnix, Brussels, Belgium

This FGB Knowledge Apero will explore how Europe can better understand and respond to skills shortages and gaps, drawing on recent findings from the SkillsPULSE project.The event will present two complementary strands of work: a survey of employers capturing their direct experience of skills shortages and gaps, and a mapping of national and regional institutional responses, including policies, programmes and initiatives designed to address them. Together, these findings offer insights into how skills shortages are experienced on the ground, how public institutions are responding, and where further action may be needed.Following the presentations, invited discussants will reflect on the findings and bring additional perspectives to the debate. The discussion will address questions such as: What do employers’ experiences reveal about the nature and scale of skills shortages? How are national and regional institutions responding to these challenges? Which approaches appear most promising, and where are the gaps? And how can these insights help shape future policy and project work?
