A shortage of skilled workers has existed for several years, particularly at the level of skilled tradespeople, and this is set to intensify further in the coming years as a result of demographic change. One way of tackling the skills shortage is to minimise mismatches. To this end, a user model has been developed and validated using scientific methods. On the one hand, this model can be used directly by companies to develop strategies for securing their own supply of skilled workers. On the other hand, the model is used to derive recommendations for action for the individual partners in the dual vocational training system. The article is based on the authors\u2019 presentation at the \u201cMiningForum 2026\u201d, held in Berlin\/\u00adGermany from 18th to 19th June 2026.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mrg-locked-notice\"><div class=\"mrg-locked-message\"><strong>Please log in to read the full article.<\/strong><\/div><p class=\"mrg-login-button-wrapper\"><a class=\"mrg-login-button\" href=\"https:\/\/mining-report.de\/english\/hello\/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmining-report.de%2Fenglish%2Fdeveloping-strategies-to-reduce-the-shortage-of-skilled-labour-using-skilled-workers-in-the-mining-industry-as-an-example%2F\">Login<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors: Dipl.-Ing.
