The European Steel Skills Agenda and Strategy (ESSA) project will start with a kick-off meeting in January 2019 in Brussels. Over the next four years it will be a matter of identifying future personnel qualifications and competencies in the steel industry. One of the main objectives will be to develop appropriate training strategies to equip employees with such qualifications. The project, which is coordinated by the Technical University of Dortmund, has a budget of almost four million euros. ArcelorMittal, Salzgitter, ThyssenKrupp, Tata Steel as well as associations such as World Steel and the CIELFFA members UNESID (Spain) and Federacciai (Italy) are also involved.
