This report presents the results of first European Training Foundation (ETF) case study on the future of skills in the automotive sector in Turkey. Conducted between January and December 2020, the study analyses how various drivers of change have affected and will continue to affect jobs and skill needs in this sector. The results reveal the changing skills demands in the automotive industry, and it is hoped that the study will stimulate debate among policy makers, practitioners and researchers on how to best adapt education and training provision in the light of this information. The report is organised into 6 chapters. Chapter 1 presents an introduction. Chapter 2 sets out the analytical framework of the study and outlines the key steps of the methodological approach. This is followed, in Chapter 3, by an overview of the automotive sector in Turkey and its employment potential and occupational structure based on a literature review and a secondary analysis of official employment statistics (labour force survey). Readers are thus provided with the contextual background to the sector before delving into the details of the big data analysis and company interviews. Chapter 4 is based on the text-mining exercise and goes on to analyse the main drivers of change affecting the sector and the technological changes which are beginning to take root, with a focus on how these are likely to influence future skill needs. Using data derived from the text mining, combined with information obtained from the in-depth interviews with key stakeholders and selected innovative companies, Chapter 5 provides information on emerging skills needs and their impact on occupational job profiles. Chapter 6 outlines how the companies under review have responded to observed changes and met their emerging skill needs, including their strategies with regard to education and training providers and research centres. The chapter ends with a final word on the findings. The report also includes a list of key stakeholder institutions in Turkey that were consulted and/or interviewed for the study (Annex 1), a list of the occupational standards and vocational qualifications applicable to the automotive sector (Annex 2), a glossary to set standard definitions for the labour-related concepts and explain some technical terminology, and a detailed bibliography.
