Why a Skills Observatory?

This Skills Observatory has been created as a tool for observation and monitoring of skills needs expressed by construction companies of different countries of the EU, allowing users to have a closer approach to anticipation of skills at national/European levels.

The Construction Skills Observatory aims to serve as a complement of the data and information provided on construction ecosystem by the European Construction Sector Observatory (ECSO).
