Big Data Intelligence on Skills Demand and Training in Umbria

image of Big Data Intelligence on Skills Demand and Training in Umbria

The COVID-19 pandemic had a severe impact on the Umbrian economy, and despite recovery of labour demand, the region faces challenges related to digitalisation, tight labour markets, and volatile demand for low-skilled jobs. To address these issues, the OECD and the Umbrian regional agency for active labour market policies (ARPAL) have collaborated to investigate the labour and skills demand of the region using big data techniques applied to online job postings. This report provides new insights into the alignment between labour and skills demand and the training options available in the training and education programmes contained in the Umbrian Regional Training Catalogue. This report builds new indicators to measure the alignment of course content with employer demands in Umbria, with results showing that alignment is relatively good for some occupations but that this can be strengthened to provide job seekers with up-to-date training options that match the demand of the labour market.

Sintesi

La pandemia di COVID-19 ha gravemente colpito l'economia italiana e umbra e, sebbene la domanda di lavoro abbia ripreso impeto, molte sfide rimangono ancora aperte, in particolare legate all’adozione di tecnologie digitali, alla mancanza di forza lavoro qualificata e alla stagionalitá di parte dei posti di lavoro, soprattutto per i lavoratori a basse qualifiche.
