CEN/ISSS: Towards a comprehensiveEuropean e-Competence Framework (2007-2008)
Methodological study
European e-Competence Framework
an EU-wide tool for planning and developing ICT practitioner
competences across Europe in line with the EQF
(providing ICT competence definitions needed and applied by industry)
ICT Qualifications Framework
ICT Lane project: a shared European model for reading ICT
qualificationsacross Europe
(providing a common language for understanding ICT qualifications)
Aim: Ability to create, manage, plan and develop e-competences that will be needed in a long term perspective across Europe
EU-wide e- Competence and Career Tools and
Services
European e-Skills Portal Feasibility Study (2007) followed (if positive) by future
platform operated by stakeholders
EU-wide e-skills certifications quality criteria and map
EU-wide ICT UserCompetence Framework
European Commission: Policy making (European Qualification Framework (EQF) and e-Skills Policy Communication) and Funding Programmes
CEN/ISSS: EU-wide Standardisation Body
Stakeholders (Industry, Social partners, Universities, Training Institutions etc.): multi-stakeholder partnerships for actions
See: http://www.cen.eu/cenorm/businessdomains/businessdomains/isss/activity/wsict-skills.asp
ICT Task Force report (2006)Recommendations on e-skills
The ICT Taskforce calls upon the Commission to present a policy Communication addressed to EU Member States and designing a long-term e-skills strategy and a corresponding e-skills action plan proposing targeted actions for the years ahead
See: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/ict/taskforce.htm
ICT Industry Initiatives: For example, the European Alliance on Skills for Employability
Goal: to help better co-ordinate industry and community investments, services and
other offerings, dialogue and engagement with NGOs and public authorities in a way that enhances the positive impact of ICT literacy and professional training on employability prospects of the young, the disabled, older workers and other unemployed or under-employed people throughout the EU.

The Five Main Action LinesICT Task Force WG on Skills and EmployabilityEuropean e-Skills 2006 Conference Declaration
Improving the availability of e-skills Empowering future generations Boosting employability of the workforce Making greater and better use of e-learning Promoting visibility and monitoring
Policy Communication and Action Plan (2007)e-Inclusion Initiative (2008)
Key components of a long term e-skills strategy
Longer term cooperation: strengthening cooperation between public authorities and industry, academia, unions and associations through the promotion of multi-stakeholder partnerships and joint initiatives including monitoring supply and demand, anticipating change, adapting curricula, attracting foreign students and highly skilled ICT workers and promoting ICT education in a long-term basis.
Human resources investment: ensuring sufficient public and private investments in human resources and e-skills and appropriate financial support and fiscal incentives as well as developing an e-competence framework and tools facilitating mobility, mutual recognition, transparency of qualifications and credit transfer between formal, non-formal and industry ICT education.
Attractiveness: promoting science, maths, ICT, role models, job profiles and career perspectives with a particular focus on young people. Information campaigns are necessary to provide parents, teachers and pupils, notably girls, with an accurate understanding of opportunities arising from an ICT education and the pursuit of an ICT career.
Employability and e-inclusion: developing digital literacy and e-competence actions tailored to the needs of the workforce both in the public and the private sector, with a particular emphasis on SMEs and also to the needs of the unemployed, elderly people, people with low education levels, people with disabilities and marginalised young people.
Lifelong acquisition of e-skills: ensuring that workers can regularly update their e-skills and encouraging better and more user-centric ICT-enhanced learning and training approaches (e-learning). Good practices for the training of employees, with a particular emphasis on SMEs, using e-learning should be promoted together with successful solutions and business models.
Promoting a long term cooperation and monitoring progress
Regular dialogue with relevant stakeholders Virtual e-skills community on the Internet to gather the views of a
larger community of experts and citizens; Annual report on the supply and demand of e-skills; Analysis on the impact of global sourcing on ICT jobs;
e-Skills Industry Leadership Board Launch Event, 7 June 2007, Brussels
Developing supporting actions and tools
European e-competence framework within CEN/ISSS in line with the proposal for a European Qualifications Framework
Feasibility study on a European e-skills and career portal European handbook (guidelines to promote appropriate legal and
financial frameworks for multi-stakeholder partnerships) Quality criteria for e-skills industry-based training and certifications E-competence curriculum guidelines Exploring the proposal of the ICT Task Force of a new discipline on
services sciences, management and engineering Promoting appropriate financial and fiscal incentives
Empowering future generations
Exchanging information and good practices on Member States initiatives for the promotion of science, maths and ICT, role models, job profiles and career perspectives as well as teacher qualification
Encouraging awareness and information campaigns at EU and national level to provide parents, teachers and pupils with an accurate understanding of opportunities arising from an ICT education and the pursuit of a career as an ICT professional
Experimenting in co-operation with European education networks as to how Web 2.0 technologies can help promote ICT training and careers to young people
Fostering employability and social inclusion
Major initiative on e-Inclusion in 2008 in line with the “Riga Declaration” – This initiative will comprise activities to promote digital literacy and
competence actions tailored to the needs of groups at risk of exclusion. The ambition is to halve the gap between these groups and the average population by 2010.
See: http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/events/ict_riga_2006/doc/declaration_riga.pdf
In addition, two activities would be further supported: – Encouraging corporate social responsibility initiatives and multi-
stakeholder partnerships such as the European Alliance on Skills for Employability;
– Promoting in cooperation with ongoing initiatives of the ICT industry how public funding instruments can efficiently support successful multi-stakeholder initiatives in improving the employability of job seekers and low skilled workers.
Making better and greater use of e-learning
Report in 2008 with recommendations for targeted e-learning initiatives, the promotion of successful strategies and the development of a dynamic market for e-learning products and services.
Promoting the development of e-learning courses and brokerage mechanisms
Supporting the networking of e-learning and training centres in liaison with the European Network of Living Labs to facilitate piloting and validation processes and better understanding of future e-skills needs.
