Data Space for Skills

The DS4Skills project was finalised in 2023, as a continuation of this initiative in 2024, an initial pilot application on the market will be deployed by EDGE-Skills.

The Data Space for Skills (DS4Skills) project established a secure, open European platform that enables the sharing and access of skills data, facilitating better matching of skills with job opportunities and enhancing workforce development across the EU.

As the coordinator of DS4Skills, DIGITALEUROPE led efforts to create a unified data-sharing network, align stakeholders, and develop an operational blueprint, ensuring the project’s alignment with EU digital strategies and policy frameworks.
