Project background and further details
The eCF Council aims to create a transnational partnership between the major players responsible for IT professionals’ enhancement, namely employers, professional associations, social partners, vocational education and training (VET) providers, higher education, research centres, regulatory bodies, and SMEs, across Europe.
Co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
Project context: eCF Alliance official source.
This is in response to the critical mismatch between ICT skills, demand and offer that Europe is suffering both in terms of training and geographical distribution of the required competencies against the positions available.
During three years, the eCF Council project partnership built the eCF Alliance, a stable network of reference stakeholders in the ICT sector whose goal is to foster ICT professionalism at the European and international levels.
The partners developed and tested training courses and paths for acquiring 12 e-competences. The courses are publically available on an online training platform.
Period of implementation: 2015-2018.
