ENISA Workshop: EU Projects and the Cybersecurity Skills Gap (enisa.europa.eu)

• Most projects are in early stages; few have delivered training yet.
• Challenges: lack of awareness, diverse learner profiles, and no standardized certification.
• Recommendations: EU-wide certification aligned with ECSF, better collaboration, and shared terminology.

"The ENISA European Cybersecurity Skills Workshop 2025 explored how EU-funded projects address the cybersecurity skills gap using the European Cybersecurity Skills Framework (ECSF). Four breakout sessions covered sector-specific training, horizontal initiatives, skills gap analysis, and certification. Key findings include the need for clear learning paths, an EU-wide certification scheme, and enhanced collaboration among projects."
