Policy Brief: Digital Skills Agenda

Published on | 3 months ago

Programmes Digital Europe Advanced Digital Skills

The European Skills Agenda is a five-year plan to help individuals and businesses develop more and better skills, and to put them to use. It builds on actions set in the EU Skills Agenda (2016) and is linked to the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030, and to the European Industrial Strategy when it comes to the availability of digital skills for the EU industry, mainly SMEs. The European Skills Agenda is formed of four building blocks (join forces, right skills for jobs, tools to support people in live long learning and unlock investments in skills) covering twelve specific actions.

Knowledge of underlying EU policies and legislations is a key element in Digital Europe proposals as they play an important role in the “relevance” evaluation criterion. This Policy Briefing is one of several briefings prepared by DEP4ALL, the NCP Network for the Digital Europe programme, to support applicants with summaries of relevant EU initiatives.
