Research on skills-gap: the validation process through focus groups 

As part of the project’s deliverables, five focus groups have been organized in different countries. Their objective was to validate the research on the identification of existing skill gaps in Social Economy Organisations (SEOs). The research, brough on by Tiresia Polimi has as a goal to delineate the dimensions needed for upskilling and reskilling, and the main skills required for green and digital jobs. The findings of the desk research have been validated through a series of focus groups, organized at both European and national level, in France and Slovenia, involving SEOs and digital and green service providers.

Overall, three focus groups have been organised, in the following dates:

• Slovenian level: April 23^rd, 2024
• European level: May 2^nd, 2024
• French level: May 22^nd, 2024
