European Steel Industry is facing various challenges. With ESSA, more than 40 project and associated partners develop a Blueprint for a sustainable, steel industry driven and coordinated European Steel Skills Agenda:
"A Blueprint made by the Steel Industry for the Steel Industry"

The ESSA Midterm Conference will present and discuss first results of ESSA and the prototype of the Blueprint and strategy. What are current and future skills and job demands in the European Steel Industry? How can those new skills demands be implemented in companies training solutions, formal education systems and training institutions? What kind of political support is needed to mobilizing and integrating stakeholders and policy makers to promote the Blueprint?
