Expected Outcome:
Deliverable:
- Connected National Coalitions for Digital Skills and Jobs to the Core Platform.
Objective:
The Digital Skills and Jobs Platform provides a single point of information related to digital skills in Europe. At EU level, the Platform gathers all relevant information and funding opportunities for stakeholders to benefit from. At national level, it connects to National Coalition websites, establishing a mutually enriching exchange with relevant content and data on digital skills and jobs. In 2024, 22 national websites are connected to the Platform. Additional Member States websites will be connected by the ongoing project on National Coalitions for Digital Skills and Jobs[1] by 2026. The Platform also hosts the Cyber Security Skills Academy and will host other relevant sectoral academies and initiatives.
The objective of this topic is to consolidate and uphold the operation of the Digital Skills and Jobs Platform, including corrective and adaptive maintenance. This topic will also sustain and extend the activities related to the Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition, as well as deepening the exchange between the National Coalition websites and the core Platform. This topic aims to further increase the number of National Coalitions, to get existing and new National Coalitions to be more active and engaged, and to increase the number of members of the Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition. Synergies should be sought with the EIT Campus, EIT Digital’s (d)Academy Skills Passport Platform, the EIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative (DTTI) and other relevant initiatives.
1 Project selected under the call DIGITAL-2024-ADVANCED-DIGITAL-06-SKILLS.
Scope:
The action under this work-strand will aim to further extend the activities of National Coalitions’ websites established under CEF calls in 2019 and 2020 and DIGITAL call of 2024, as well as support the creation of new websites in Member States who do not have any National Coalition or website yet.
Activities under the second work strand will:
- Develop and connect the infrastructures (websites) of National Coalitions that are not yet connected to the Core Platform through interoperable interconnections, integrating and enabling exchanges with the Core Platform components.
- Provide access to national/regional/local actors and practices, building interoperable links to provide services relevant to the local context.
- Expand and engage National Coalitions that are already connected to the Core Platform.
The support to Nation Coalitions in a given Member State can take the form of Financial Support for Third Parties (FSTP) of a maximum amount of 150.000 EUR per third party to allow sufficient funding for the implementation of their activities.
