Mtech+ pushes 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.
Mtech+ is the career fund for the metal and technology sector in Flanders, supporting more than 5,000 companies and 140,000 employees in their growth and development. As a strategic partner for employers, mtech+ provides financial support, expert advice, and access to practical learning opportunities that strengthen workforce resilience in a rapidly changing labour market. With a mission to future-proof the sector, mtech+ focuses on fostering talent mobility, enhancing digital and technical skills, and promoting sustainable career development across industries like manufacturing, maintenance, and engineering.

Challenge
Companies in the metal and technology sector had no reliable data on which skills to develop, so training decisions rested on gut feeling in an unpredictable labour market.
Approach
Mtech+ integrated talentguide into the Mtech+ Talentspace, combining labour market insights with its own learning catalogue. Employee capabilities are mapped as skill passports, measured against evolving job profiles, and linked to matching training.
Result
Training decisions are now data-driven inside the Mtech+ Talentspace: skill passports map current capabilities, gaps surface against evolving job profiles, and targeted courses from the Mtech+ catalogue are recommended automatically. Companies guide their workforce toward future-ready skills with confidence instead of guesswork.
Mapping employees’ current skills and identifying the competencies needed now and in the future is a complex, time-consuming task. Recommending the right training based on these insights makes it even more challenging. By using talentguide, we make this process manageable for every HR and L&D manager.
