E-Skills Week
European e-Skills Week highlights the growing demand for skilled ICT users and professionals to drive a competitive and innovative Europe. This campaign seeks to inform students, young professionals and SMEs AbOUT the vast range of opportunities that ICT-related jobs present.
Public authorities, ICT companies, education institutions and students will engage in hundreds of activities, training events, competitions and much more. The awareness campaign will culminate in a dedicated European e-Skills Week from 1 to 5 March 2010.
This ground initiative of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Enterprise and Industry is coordinated by DIGITALEUROPE and European Schoolnet in conjunction with twenty national partners. The week is organised as part of the e-Skills strategy, which the European Commission adopted on 7 September 2007, via the Communication on "e-Skills for the 21st Century: Fostering Competitiveness, Growth and Jobs", presenting a long term e-skills agenda and including five major action lines at EU level (2008–2010). The Competitiveness Council of Ministers subsequently adopted Conclusions on a long term e-skills strategy on 22–23 November 2007.
More than 100 international and national organisations have already agreed to be stakeholders in the e-Skills Week 2010.
