DEMANDS-AUTO TRANSITION

General Manager at CRADLE

Piraeus, Greece

About

Main Problem

Automotive workers transitioning to new sectors often leave employment within the first months due to inadequate onboarding, transversal skills gaps, and weak employer-side support. This undermines job-to-job transition objectives and leads to hidden unemployment risks despite initial placements.

Our Answer

A social-partner-led or Private-sector-led Skills Guarantee that prioritises employment retention, not only placement.

Trade unions, employer associations, and sectoral bodies lead the identification of at-risk workers and receivingcompanies, while ensuring on-the-job integration support and minimum six-month employment in strategic andgrowing sectors. The model adapts DEMANDS-style competency frameworks to a company-embedded retention pathway, aligned with real job needs.
