Two Years in the Making: ChemSkills Recap

Looking back on two years of progress, collaboration and innovation, we’ve prepared two documents to showcase what ChemSkills has achieved so far. Together, they highlight how the project is helping Europe’s chemical industry prepare for the green and digital transition across six sub-sectors: plastics, consumer chemicals, fertilisers, rubber, pharmaceuticals and petrochemicals.

1. The Full-Length Recap

Our full recap offers a detailed overview of the work carried out across the project between 2023 and 2025. It covers shared skills intelligence, the identification of training gaps, the development of a common competence matrix, new occupational profiles supported by ChemSkills Skill Cards, and the first training opportunities built through the project. It also shows the scale of progress already made, including 32 existing training programmes mapped, 22 new modules planned and four new modules already uploaded to the ChemSkills Learning Platform.

2. The Short Summary

Pressed for time? Our short summary brings together the headline results in a quick and accessible format. It outlines key achievements across all six sub-sectors and shows why this work matters: ChemSkills has already built shared methods, credible data, a common language for skills, concrete job profiles and a training pipeline that is now moving into delivery. It also points to what comes next, including piloting, scaling and uptake.
