About the project
The aim
The EU ALMP Observatory (EU-ALMPO) is a new initiative designed to improve the development, implementation, and evaluation of Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs) across EU member states. Its goal is to address existing shortcomings in labour market interventions by providing a centralized framework for policymakers. The observatory will use advanced AI tools and a centralized IT platform to support researchers and labour market professionals in crafting more effective, innovative, and inclusive ALMPs. By integrating cutting-edge technology and expert insights, it aims to enhance labour market integration, skill development—especially for vulnerable groups—and anticipate future workforce needs. Ultimately, the EU-ALMPO seeks to become a key resource for labour market policy across the EU.
The challenge
The challenge for EU-ALMPO project lies in addressing the complexity and effectiveness of Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs) and combining cutting-edge AI-driven insights with human expertise and stakeholder collaboration to create more effective, inclusive, and adaptable labour market policies across the EU.
The challenge
The objectives
- Understanding complexity of labour market policy effectiveness by evidence-based gathering and analysis.
- Analysis of approaches by engaging stakeholders at NUTS & sectoral level into the skills strategies co-design process (community of practice, case studies).
- Development of expert-led self-sustainable machine learning system for analysis of ALMPs effectiveness evidence.
- Development of an Intelligent Tool to bridge the gap between job demand and supply by leveraging key data inputs for policymakers during economic cycle.
- Development of contextualized (high/low unemployment; high/low skilled jobs) recommendation engine for: Individual intervention pathways/ Policy design and policy implementation recommendations.
- Experimentation on innovative approaches towards skills strategies and skills development.
- Participative development and fine-tuning of ALMPs and skills policy design.
