Summary/Abstract: This paper presents an identification of the needs of vocational training in mathematics. The results of a research within the European Project NAMA are presented. The participants were workers and trainees of the Advanced Manufacturing sector. The research was aimed to identify some general and specific numerical skills which are needed in their work and also the skills for which the participants require more training. Our conclusions include also some recommendations which should be taken into consideration while designing some learning materials for the AM sector’s workers.
