TOR – Conducting the Annual Skills Gap Analysis – Kosovo ICT Barometer (2023 & 2024), including Dual VET Focus

The Kosovo Association of Information and Communication Technology (STIKK) is the implementing entity of the KSV/021 – Skills for Sustainable Jobs in Kosovo project, funded by LuxDev. As part of this initiative, Activity 4.4 aims to conduct a comprehensive annual skills gap analysis through the Kosovo IT Barometer, now expanded to include a new focus on Dual Vocational Education and Training (Dual VET) in Kosovo’s ICT sector.

The Kosovo IT Barometer has been conducted annually by STIKK since 2014 and is a key tool for assessing export capacity, workforce trends, and sectoral challenges within the ICT industry. This year, the 2025 edition will cover developments in both 2023 and 2024, and will include a dedicated section on the implementation, awareness, and impact of Dual VET across the private ICT sector.

Scope of the Assignment

STIKK seeks to engage a qualified research company or consulting team to design, conduct, and analyse the 2023 & 2024 Skills Gap IT Barometer, integrating both traditional ICT market insights and a new Dual VET thematic focus.
