INSKILLS is a two-year Marie Sk艂odowska-Postdoctoral Fellowship funded under Horizon Europe, the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation.
Considering that 2023 is the European Year of Skills and that Europe faces significant challenges in attracting and retaining skilled people in the labour market and given the scarcity of research on the impact and experiences of HSS in the retention process, INSKILLS takes a multi-level perspective to understand better the experiences and strategies of HSS in particular in penetrating the job market in both Norway and Italy. Specifically, at the macro level I ask (RQ1): What are the policies, practices, and programmes that focus on including HSS in the labour market and how well tailored are they to the needs of HSS? At the meso level, (RQ2): What is the role of employers, employment agencies and rights-based organisations in addressing the challenges that HSS encounter? Finally, at the micro level (RQ3): What career adaptability strategies do HSS develop to overcome the difficulties in finding and retaining jobs?
The research from the INSKILLS project has received funding from the European Commission under Grant Agreement N°101149964.
