Challenges
The European automotive industry is transforming due to the short-term impact of the COVID-19 crisis and the long-term shift towards green and digital mobility (including the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050). Many jobs are being endangered, and the industry is struggling to attract and recruit qualified people for new roles.
Size of the labour market
More than 14.6 million Europeans are currently employed in the automotive sector.
Commitments made under the Pact for Skills
To remain competitive and meet its economic and social responsibilities, the automotive sector must invest significantly in the upskilling and reskilling of its workforce. The Automotive Skills Alliance, composed of industry representatives, social partners, education and training providers, and regional and local authorities, is implementing a recovery strategy to establish an upskilling and reskilling framework that maximises industry’s competitiveness, job retention and new job opportunities, and contributes to post-COVID recovery. It aims to enable upskilling and reskilling of 5% of the automotive workforce each year.

Challenges
Europe’s Shipbuilding and Maritime Technology sector plays an important role in meeting the goals of the EU Green Deal and the Smart and Sustainable Mobility Strategy, as well as ensuring the sustainable development of Europe’s Blue Economy. However, the task of training the workforce is very large and complex, with companies in the sector undertaking intensive upskilling and reskilling to tackle the green and digital transitions.
Size of the labour market
The sector includes 300 shipyards and 22.000 equipment suppliers and service companies providing 576,000 direct and additional 500,000 indirect jobs.
Commitments made under the Pact for Skills
The partnership, composed of industry representatives, education providers, national and regional sector stakeholders and regional authorities, aims to attract, train and retain highly skilled workers to reinforce competitiveness and innovation in the shipbuilding and maritime technology sector and to ensure that Europe can achieve its goal of smart, zero-emission ships and technologies by 2030. The partnership will upskill and reskill 7% of employees in the industry every year for the next 5 years (totalling 201,600 people and covering digital, 4.0, green, transversal and technical skills), and attract 234,000 new employees by 2030.
