National coalitions for digital skills and professions in the European Union

recommended by the European Commission in its strategy for preparing for the digital future (digital age) to be set up in Member States as partnerships between digital skills actors to work together to improve digital skills, in particular: digital technology companies, education and training providers, education and employment ministries, public and private employment services, associations, non-profit organisations and social partners.

These are to take concrete action to bring digital skills to all levels of society, working together in areas such as upskilling in industry, skills certification, improving curricula in schools and universities, and raising awareness of ICT careers, especially among young people and women.
