MEGASKILLS: Building the Skills People Need to Succeed
The European MEGASKILLS project aims to improve collaboration between schools and businesses. Its goal is to help people develop soft skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, as these abilities are increasingly vital in today’s job market.
Within the project, we are:
-
identifying which skills are most needed in the workplace,
-
selecting the best methods for training these skills,
-
developing a smart AI tool to help people assess what they already know and where they can improve,
-
testing training methods using video games with students, employees, and job seekers.
Hundreds of people from different professions and countries are involved in the project. Thanks to their input, we’ll gain insights into the skills needed for the future and how people can learn them. These findings will support schools, companies, and policymakers in better preparing people for what lies ahead.
One of the key outcomes of the project is a publication on the importance of soft skills against the background of the current exponential technological developments. The book, authored by members of our department involved in the project, was published in May 2025.
