European AM Skills Strategy gathers the support from the AM Platform and other organisations in the Sector.

SAM is setting a Sector Skills Strategy Roadmap for AM sustained by a strong connection between a wide range of industrial sectors - View here which actions are foreseen and which organizations are involved.

In a nutshell, until 2030 the expected outcomes are to:

•Reduce the skills gaps and ensure alignment between the training offers and the industry needs;

•Increase the number of AM Qualified personnel, being by re-skilling, up-skilling of by training the “new” workforce;

•Facilitate the access of professionals, students and industry to AM training;

•Wider pool of qualified personnel that can “move” between different countries and industrial sectors;

•Improved foresight of skills needs for the AM Sector;

•Increase the number of people/students trained in AM in the short and long term across Europe;

•Greater access to funding to support AM-related skills development and sustainment.

Together, SAM partners and stakeholders, we are consolidating a shared vision and collaborative skill solutions capable to foster the growth, innovation and competitiveness in the AM Sector.
