Abstract: Abstract In the Greek labour market, a perennial problem is the gap between the provided professional education and training in relation to the needs of businesses, especially in the age of artificial intelligence. This gap results in the difficulty of finding a suitable workforce and the challenge for employees to adapt to new techno-working environments. The lack of appropriate skillsets per specialty in Greek manufacturing, delays some of the modern production processes, causing significant portions of industries to struggle with international challenges. This article, based on a study of a Greek manufacturing training institution, aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of this issue and propose a strategic framework for action. The proposed framework will focus on upgrading curricula in vocational education, formulating training protocols aligned with contemporary technocratic data, and fostering stronger networking mechanisms between educational institutions and businesses. Additionally, it will explore the implementation of a needs investigation mechanism, with the aim of a holistic approach to reduce the skills gap across critical specialties in Greek manufacturing.
