New European Commission publication: strengthening skills and capacity in EU local governments

New European Commission publication: strengthening skills and capacity in EU local governments

A recent European Commission study on local governments in the EU provides a detailed overview of how municipalities are organised, with a particular focus on workforce capacity, skills, and administrative systems. While the report is not sector-specific, it offers timely insights for cities and regions facing structural transformations in areas such as mobility, digitalisation, and the green transition. Uneven capacities in a context of rapid change The study confirms that municipalities are central to implementing EU policies, yet their ability to respond to change varies significantly across Member States. Differences in administrative structures, recruitment systems, and workforce organisation translate into uneven levels of preparedness when new demands emerge. At the same time, a major constraint lies in the lack of reliable and comparable data on local government employment and skills. In many cases, it remains difficult to assess workforce composition, qualification levels, or emerging needs. This limits forward-looking planning and makes it harder for local authorities to anticipate how jobs and roles will evolve in response to technological and regulatory shifts. Skills systems under pressure The report highlights that training and professional development systems are often fragmented and decentralised. Access to continuous learning varies widely, particularly for smaller municipalities, and career development pathways remain limited. This becomes increasingly critical in sectors undergoing transformation. As new technologies and service models emerge, particularly in areas such as transport and mobility, local authorities are expected not only to adapt infrastructure and services, but also to navigate the implications for jobs, skills, and workforce organisation. Yet the systems needed to support this shift are not consistently in place. Bridging local action and EU skills frameworks To address these challenges, the study points to the importance of stronger alignment with EU-level initiatives. Frameworks such as the Pact for Skills and the Public Administration Skills Agenda (ComPAct) are highlighted as key instruments to foster collaboration, improve coordination, and support more structured upskilling pathways across administrations. For local authorities, engaging with these initiatives offers an opportunity to move beyond fragmented approaches and towards more strategic workforce planning, while also connecting local needs with European priorities. From capacity gaps to transition management Taken together, the findings highlight a broader challenge: local governments are expected to deliver complex transitions, but often lack the tools to anticipate and manage their workforce implications. Whether in mobility, energy, or digital services, changes in technologies and business models are already reshaping job profiles and skill requirements. This points to the need for a more integrated approach, where local authorities are not only implementers of policy, but also active actors in understanding labour market shifts, engaging relevant stakeholders, and supporting workers as roles evolve. Strengthening cooperation between public authorities, industry, and training providers becomes essential to ensure that transitions are both effective and inclusive. Policy implications for cities and regions The report ultimately calls for stronger coordination, improved data collection, and more consistent frameworks for workforce development at local level. For cities and regions, this reinforces the importance of building internal capacity while also working across sectors and governance levels. Ensuring that local workforces can adapt to change is not a secondary concern, but a prerequisite for delivering policy objectives. As transitions accelerate, the ability to anticipate skills needs, support workforce evolution, and align local action with broader EU initiatives will play a decisive role in shaping their outcomes.
Report: EU automotive R&I vision: competitiveness, innovation and workforce transformation

Report: EU automotive R&I vision: competitiveness, innovation and workforce transformation

The report Joint EU Vision on R&I for the Technological Competitiveness of the EU Automotive Sector has been developed by a broad coalition of European automotive industry stakeholders, in close coordination with the European Commission and supported by industry-led partnerships. As such, it reflects a strong industry-driven perspective, particularly focused on competitiveness, innovation capacity and industrial scaling . It positions the European automotive sector, accounting for around 7% of EU GDP and millions of jobs, at a critical turning point, shaped by global competition and the rapid shift towards electrification, digitalisation and AI-driven systems. A central argument is that value creation is increasingly moving towards software, batteries and data-driven services, requiring a coordinated push in research and innovation to retain industrial leadership in Europe. The report identifies key technological priorities, including software-defined vehicles, connected and automated mobility (CCAM), battery innovation and advanced manufacturing. It also stresses the need to accelerate innovation cycles and strengthen European supply chains. Beyond technology, the report implicitly highlights a structural transformation of work across the automotive value chain. As systems become more software-driven and data-intensive, traditional roles are being redefined, and new skill profiles are emerging. The transition towards AI-enabled, connected and automated mobility is therefore not only an industrial challenge, but also a workforce one. In this context, the need to anticipate skills demand, address labour shortages and support workforce adaptation becomes central to ensuring that technological progress translates into sustainable competitiveness. The report points to the importance of developing the necessary expertise across the value chain and aligning education, training and industrial strategies accordingly. These challenges are closely aligned with ongoing European efforts to support a just and inclusive transition, as reflected in broader EU policy frameworks such as the Green Deal, the Digital Decade and the automotive Industrial Action Plan. They also resonate with current initiatives focused on understanding how automation, digitalisation and new mobility systems will reshape jobs, tasks and skills in the sector. For industry stakeholders, the key takeaway is that maintaining competitiveness in the transition towards electrified, connected and automated mobility will depend not only on technological innovation, but on the ability to integrate workforce development, reskilling and organisational adaptation into core business strategies.

New Cedefop Working Paper: Human-centred digital transitions and skill mismatches in European workplaces

New Cedefop Working Paper: Human-centred digital transitions and skill mismatches in European workplaces

The European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop) has published a special edition of its working paper series titled β€œHuman-centred digital transitions and skill mismatches in European workplaces.” Cedefop is an EU agency supporting the development of European vocational education and training (VET), skills intelligence, and lifelong learning policies. It provides robust evidence to inform policy-making at EU and Member State level, particularly on skills anticipation, labour market trends and workforce transformation. The volume presents the first in-depth academic analysis of microdata from the second wave of the European Skills and Jobs Survey (ESJS2), conducted in 2021. Across ten original research contributions, it explores how digital technologies, including artificial intelligence and task automation, are reshaping skill demand, task composition and job quality across European labour markets. Digital transition in a changing European economy As European industries navigate simultaneous digital and green transitions, workforce preparedness has become a central policy and competitiveness concern. Rapid technological integration is accelerating demand for advanced digital, cognitive and transversal skills, while demographic change and structural labour shortages are increasing pressure on training systems and employers. In this context, understanding how digital transformation alters work internally β€” and where mismatches emerge β€” is essential for anticipating workforce needs and ensuring that innovation strengthens rather than fragments labour markets. Rethinking automation and skill mismatch Rather than framing automation as a binary outcome of job loss or job creation, the research demonstrates how technological change reorganises work internally. In many cases, digital adoption transforms the tasks performed within occupations before affecting overall employment levels. This process generates new forms of skill mismatch. Workers may remain in their roles, yet the competencies required evolve more rapidly than training systems or organisational practices can adapt. The result is a structural misalignment between technological capacity and workforce preparedness. Organisational responses and structural patterns The studies identify recurring dynamics across sectors. Digital intensity is associated with increasing demand for advanced cognitive and transversal skills. However, access to employer-supported training remains uneven. Organisational learning cultures emerge as a critical factor. Firms that embed continuous upskilling strategies are better positioned to manage technological transition without undermining job quality. At the same time, segmentation by age and gender persists in digitally intensive roles, and skill shortages are visible in strategically important domains linked to AI and advanced technologies. The acceleration of digitalisation during the Covid-19 period further intensified these trends, influencing training participation, worker well-being and perceptions of job insecurity. Implications for sectors undergoing technological integration For sectors integrating automation, advanced data systems and AI-enabled operations into core activities, the findings underline the importance of anticipating skill evolution and aligning innovation strategies with structured workforce development. The publication provides robust empirical evidence for discussions on upskilling, job quality and inclusive digital transitions in rapidly transforming industries. Stakeholders interested in the intersection of digitalisation, labour market dynamics and skills policy are encouraged to explore the full publication and follow the editors and contributing researchers for further insights.
