Next steps

The prospective research aims to provide a coherent description of the future scenario, allowing a vision from the current situation to the future situation.

The prospective study on the future of the work of the Observatory focuses, in a first stage, on the ITCE (Information, Communication and Electronic Technology) and industry sectors and aims to provide a clear overview of the current labour market situation, its challenges and opportunities, in particular with regard to the need for the competences that will be most relevant in the future of a labour market arising from digital transformation.

This publication is intended, in particular, for education and training entities, as well as, for businesses in general and for all citizens who wish to increase their qualifications in line with the technological trends expected in the near future.

Questionnaires for enterprises will also be released in May, in order to be one more mechanism for listening to the business fabric of Aveiro. the questionnaires will be made available online and will be launched in May.

The prospective report and the questionnaire belong to the set of actions that aims to identify the priorities and qualification needs of Aveiro, more specifically identifying the competences for digital transformation required by the regional labour market. The Aveiro Labour Observatory has been conducting a series of re-search and information gathering activities in close collaboration with local actors and the most representative companies of the region in the ITCE, Industry and Tourism and Services sectors, considered as the great engine of the regional economic fabric.
