Infographic: Bridging the Tech Skills Gap in Europe and the Power of Reskilling

The European Union has set an ambitious target of having 20 million people employed in tech jobs by 2030. However, projections reveal a significant shortfall, with only 12 million professionals expected to be available, leaving a gap of 8 million skilled workers. Factors such as the rapid pace of digital transformation, the AI revolution, and mismatched education-to-industry pathways are driving this shortage. Employers are already feeling the impact, with 75% reporting difficulties in finding qualified tech talent. This issue spans across countries, with the UK, Germany, Portugal, and Spain among those most affected.

In-demand tech roles include Full-Stack Developers, Data Analysts, Cybersecurity Analysts, and Machine Learning Specialists, among others. These positions offer substantial earning potential, with tech professionals consistently earning more than the median salary in their respective countries.

Addressing the skills gap requires collaborative efforts from governments, enterprises, and educational institutions. Governments can encourage tech education and provide incentives for continuous learning, while enterprises should invest in employee upskilling or reskilling. Universities and training centers play a big role by aligning education with industry needs and preparing graduates for tech jobs. Together, these stakeholders can bridge the gap and reskill the workforce to meet Europe’s growing demand for tech professionals.

We’ve created an infographic highlighting the key insights on Europe’s tech skills shortage and the solutions to address it. You can download the infographic as a PDF by filling out your details below.
