Metis (Microelectronics Training, Industry and Skills), a consortium funded in 2020 by the European Commission through the Erasmus + programme and coordinated by the industry association Semi Europahas launched an online survey to identify and analyse the new skills and knowledge needed to work in the microelectronics sector in Europe. The survey aims to identify the jobs of the future and to highlight the mismatch between the skills required by this industry and the current supply. The results of the survey will form part of the Metis Skills Strategy, a broad research project aimed at presenting the challenges facing today's workers, assessing the skills supply and providing an Action Plan with measures to close the gap in the microelectronics sector.
