Mtech+ guides the metal and technology sector toward future-ready skills

Mtech+ set out to help companies in the metal and technology sector make smarter training decisions in an unpredictable labour market. Without clear data, many organisations rely on gut feeling or guesswork to determine which skills their employees should develop, leading to uncertainty and inefficiency. By integrating talentguide into the Mtech+ Talentspace, the process becomes data-driven: skill passports map current capabilities, gaps are identified against evolving job profiles, and targeted training is recommended directly from the Mtech+ learning catalogue. This approach gives companies the clarity they need to guide their workforce toward future-ready skills with confidence.

From job listings to a sector-wide skills map

By assembling all job data from member companies — including bottleneck roles — into the mtech+ Talentspace, talentguide creates a clear, dynamic view of how job roles are evolving. This helps companies anticipate the future skills their workforce will need, ensuring they can proactively guide employees toward opportunities that align with shifting demands.

From a static training catalog to a dynamic training compass

By integrating the entire mtech+ training catalogue into talentguide, member companies can now match employee skill gaps directly with relevant learning opportunities. This transforms the platform into a “training compass” that helps HR managers and employees navigate the right learning paths to future-ready skills.
