ESCO (European Skills, Competences, Qualifications and Occupations)

ESCO (European Skills, Competences, Qualifications and Occupations) is a comprehensive European framework that standardizes and organizes job profiles, skills, and qualifications across member states. It helps governments, employers, and educational institutions understand and compare skills and job roles consistently, facilitating mobility and workforce development within Europe. By providing a common language and classification system, ESCO supports better matching of skills to jobs, planning of education programs, and recognition of qualifications across countries. It promotes transparency and efficiency in the European labor market, making it easier for individuals and organizations to navigate employment opportunities and professional growth.
