eSkills

In support of these goals, the EU4Digital Facility will:

• Define a methodology for measuring and forecasting national digital skills gaps
• Define a common competence framework for SMEs and microbusinesses
• Create national coalitions for skills and jobs
• Carry out training seminars and workshops 
• Implement promotion campaigns in partner countries

The Facility supports the work of the EU4Digital eSkills network, which has the following priorities in focus:

• Digital skills for citizens
• Digital skills for ICT professionals
• Digital skills for non-ICT workforce, including SMEs
• Digital skills in education (digital skills for educators, youth and students)

Digital skills are vital to increasingly digital economies and societies. By supporting the development of digital skills, the EU is helping to match skills with the demands of emerging sectors, contributing to jobs, private sector development, and dynamic economic growth.
