How to engage and support stakeholders and the potential role of DigComp Stakeholders´ consultation workshop

Agenda – Asistants

Day 1, June 19th: Debating and validating research results
The European Commission – DG Employment and Social Affairs in cooperation with the Joint Research Centre B4 Human Capital and Employment Unit -, has carried out research with the objectives to understand which policy options could, in a practical and effective way support Labour Market Intermediaries active in the digital skills assessment, up-skilling and skill matching processes for employability, and encourage the use of the DigComp as a supporting tool. The research has included an analysis on how a selection of actors (in 9 uses cases) make use of the DigComp Framework for digital competence development for employability, across the services they provide. The analysis has included: operational aspects, enabling and key success factors, the benefits brought by the framework, challenges and gaps encountered in its implementation, and a reflection on possible research and policy options to address the latter. The aim of the workshop is:
  1. To present the major findings of the project
  2. To debate key research and policy options to address the challenges identified by Labour market intermediaries and enterprises using DigComp in their (up-)skilling role in the area of digital competences
  3. To debate new avenues to support and promote stakeholders and enterprises in their (up-)skilling role in the area of digital competences

Day 3, June 21th:Developing digital competences for employability: Supporting stakeholders Complementary session: Working together Agenda
The Ikanos Project of the Basque Government has been working on developing digital competences for employability for 19 years, and using DigComp framework since 2013 for assessment, training and certification purposes. Through the experience we have acquired, we believe in the value of linking to other actors working with similar objectives so as to share experiences, learn from each other and identify opportunities for co-operation with the final aim to facilitate more effective implementation processes. The 19-20th June EC Consultation workshop has been an opportunity to start this process in a complementary session to the workshop the following day, Friday 21st, 9h-13h. Objectives:
  1. To identify and validate opportunities to connect and exchange experiences.
  2. To identify and to debate key research and policy options on which to advance work.
  3. To identify partners to test experiences and tools in different context to improve them.
