Blueprint “New Skills Agenda Steel”
On May 11th, the ESSA conference will take place in Duisburg, at the Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe Education Center and online
Industry-driven sustainable European Steel Skills Agenda and Strategy (ESSA)
Main features of ESSA project are:
- Proactive identification of skill needs and demands for building appropriate training and curricula, including strategizing for the implementation of new vocational education content and pedagogies (incorporating training practitioner development) across the sector (thus enabling mutual recognition of skills and training across the sector and promoting mobility), within both companies and education and training institutions;
- Identification, development and promotion of successful sectoral recruitment and upskilling schemes (including the exchange of existing tools and good practice) and the development of first (framework) training tools for i) the efficient management of knowledge towards talent development and mobility, and ii) tackling recruitment difficulties (e.g. industry attractiveness) for widening the talent pool and establishing a more diverse workforce.
Sidenor task will focus on the analysis of existing professional profiles within steel companies and the knowledge that is related to them. Then, the skills and capabilities that will be required by steel companies to be more competitive in the future will be delineated.
