Abstract
First paragraph: This country report presents input to EU Strategy suggestions and guidelines for upskilling low- skilled people so they can cover future staff requirements. It is based on REPLAY-VET, a 2-year EU funded ERASMUS+ project led by Prospektiker in Spain with partners across Europe. Europe has a pressing need to tackle future demand to replace workers, caused partly by an ageing workforce and new technologies, and persistent low skill levels among much of the workforce. The project used a network of expert labour market analysts to explore what new policy and practices can assist Europe in tackling replacement demand, by supporting people with low skill levels in various sectors.
