Leiden, Netherlands, 8 October 2026 – SkiLMeeT researchers presented the latest developments in the European Labour Market Dashboard and a methodology for measuring the digitalisation of jobs and skills during an online research webinar on 5 October. The session brought together 17 researchers and was led by Sadegh Shahmohammadi and Xavier Pinho from the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO).
Pinho began with a live demonstration of the European Labour Market Dashboard, which uses LinkedIn data sourced from Revelio Labs and the ESCO framework to provide insights into occupations, skills and career transitions. The tool currently covers six countries represented in the SkiLMeeT consortium: Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Poland.
Participants were shown how the dashboard can be used to explore the ESCO classification of occupations and skills, analyse transitions between jobs and compare the skills associated with the same occupation across different countries. It also allows users to examine the geographical distribution of occupations and the skills most frequently associated with them.
Shahmohammadi then presented recent research on the Digital Semantic Score, a methodology that measures how strongly individual skills and job titles are associated with digital concepts. Rather than relying only on fixed occupational classifications or keyword counts, the approach uses semantic relationships between terms to create a relative measure of digitalisation.
The analysis indicates an upward trend in both the number of new job titles and their average Digital Semantic Score. The methodology can also be applied at the worker and occupation level, allowing researchers to examine how digitalisation changes over time and differs across countries. In the future, the same approach could be used to develop measures for other areas, including green and basic skills.
The Digital Semantic Score methodology has already been published and is available here.
The TNO team plans to further integrate this research into the European Labour Market Dashboard. Several organisations are already using the tool, and access can be provided for research purposes under certain conditions.
