Who How What Where

What are we looking for on the employers’ side, and where may the gaps be?

Date: 23.06.2026
In conversations with companies, several topics often come up. On the one hand, there are hard technical skills. On the other, there are competences that determine whether a person can really find their place in a manufacturing environment.

In INNOSKILLS-CE, we look for skills gaps in areas such as:

  • operating and understanding the logic of machines, automation and basic robotics
  • reading technical documentation, working with data and using digital tools
  • occupational safety and proper behaviour in a production environment
  • problem-solving and responding to failures or disruptions
  • teamwork and communication on the shop floor, also between different departments

These findings will later become the basis for designing training solutions and practical scenarios that reflect real workplace needs.
