Abstract
The identification of sectoral skill needs is a critical process in aligning workforce skills with the evolving demands of modern industries. Various methodologies and frameworks have been developed globally to address this issue, focusing on both current and future skills gaps (e.g. Cedefop, 2019; Cedefop, 2023; Hoftijzer, 2015; Maldonado-Mariscal et al., 2023; Wilson et al., 2016). This paper examines two distinctive approaches – the Polish Sectoral Human Capital Studies (SHCS) and the European Steel Skills Alliance (ESSA) – and evaluates their applicability to the Turkish steel sector. The goal is to provide actionable recommendations for improving skills anticipation mechanisms in Türkiye's steel industry. While Poland’s SHCS offers a national framework for identifying sector-specific skills needs, ESSA provides a sector-focused European perspective, particularly within the steel industry. By comparing these methodologies, we aim to draw lessons that can be adapted to Türkiye's context. The choice of Poland and Wales is rooted in their methodological innovations and relevance to addressing skills gaps in dynamic and transformative industrial sectors. Although Türkiye is not part of the EU, the ESSA’s tools and approaches offer valuable insights for structuring sectoral skill needs assessment.
