Software skills: We ask experts how the educational offering can meet the market demand
What are the most sought software skills? How can we educate for the most in-demand software jobs? Can the educational provision cater for emerging professional software roles?
European Software Skills Alliance presents a webinar to talk about current and future software skill gaps and ways to tackle them.
This event is great for people working in the field of education and training, but also organisations looking for insights into the European market’s demand and offer in software skills.

This event is organised by the European Software Skills Alliance in the context of the European Commission’s European Vocational Skills Week (16-20 May). ESSA is an EU-funded project coordinated by DIGITALEUROPE with the mission to skill, upskill, and reskill individuals into high demand software roles. In 2022, we hope to bring forward innovative learning pathways to address the software skills gaps and develop educational profiles for VET, higher VET, and higher education curricula.
