The TRAILS project (Enabling Data Analytics for Actions Tackling Skills Shortages & Mismatch) is an EU-funded initiative aimed at understanding and addressing skills mismatches in the European labour market. By combining cutting-edge data analysis, AI-driven insights, and vocational education research, TRAILS helps policymakers, educators, and workforce planners develop more effective strategies to bridge the gap between skills supply and demand.
At its core, TRAILS seeks to provide a data-driven approach to workforce development, ensuring that individuals are equipped with the right skills for evolving job markets. The project explores emerging technologies, the impact of automation, and the role of vocational education and training (VET) in shaping employment trends. By leveraging innovative tools and AI-powered analytics, TRAILS supports evidence-based policymaking, promotes lifelong learning, and enhances workforce mobility across Europe.
The TRAILS Portal is a key outcome of this project, offering stakeholders an interactive platform to access insights, compare trends, and extract valuable data to support smarter decision-making for the future of work.
The TRAILS Portal was created to bridge the gap between labour market data and decision-making, providing policymakers, educators, and researchers with insights into skills mismatches, vocational education, and employment trends. By offering interactive dashboard and structured datasets, the portal helps stakeholders make informed, evidence-based decisions that shape the future of work.
A key objective of the TRAILS Project is to address skills mismatches and support workforce mobility across Europe. The portal achieves this by consolidating data from multiple sources, including labour market surveys, vocational education reports, and economic indicators, into a single, user-friendly platform. Instead of navigating through scattered datasets, users can easily explore trends, compare country-level insights, and extract meaningful data—all in one place.
By leveraging advanced visualization tools and seamless API integration, the TRAILS Portal transforms complex labour market data into actionable insights, empowering stakeholders to develop policies, improve education programs, and ensure workers are equipped with the right skills for the evolving job market.
