The primary objective of the project is to survey, record and forecast all the needs of the labour market for skills nationwide and across sectors of the Greek economy; secondly, it aims at providing timely and reliable information towards the local labour markets, vocational guidance units and educational and training sub-systems of the country, in order for them to adjust in the ever-changing needs for human resources' knowledge, skills and competences.

The scope of the project is to conduct two Panhellenic quantitative "General Surveys of Skills’ Diagnosis", one dedicated to the employers and another one to the employees, mainly focusing on the horizontal skills required by the current employment structure in Greece (companies-employees), as well as four qualitative studies (one by each employers' representative body) regarding the special vocational skills across dynamic sectors and professions of the Greek economy.

The planning of the methodology and scientific specifications thereof, is taking place in collaboration with the National Institute of Labour and Human Resources (NILHR).
