The current report constitutes the baseline to identify skills gaps and demands of the AM Sector for the real case and short-term scenarios. This second Report on the Analysis and Validation of Needs, corresponds to the 2 nd round of auscultation using surveys and interviews with key target groups, namely companies, AM workers, training organisations and recruitment agencies from June 2020 to April 2021. Four criteria were used to determine the priorities to tackle the identified skills needs and gaps, which were: sectors relevance in alignment with ISO activities, urgency, impact on employability and relevance towards raising awareness on AM. The validated data on skills needs are used as reference to support the European AM Skills Strategy and to revise existing training programmes of the International AM Qualification System (IAMQS) and develop new ones.
