Background on e-Skills Week:
DIGITALEUROPE and European Schoolnet have come together with 20 national partners to promote e-Skills whilst building bridges between the different stakeholders. Public authorities, ICT companies as well as schools and students are working together to organise a range of exciting events, training sessions, school visits, competitions and more, to underline the importance of ICT skills in today’s society, and to demonstrate the wide range of job opportunities in the field. The campaign ultimately aims to increase ICT skills among professionals and to encourage more young people to take up ICT studies and careers.

This ground breaking initiative of the European Commission’s DG Enterprise and Industry is coordinated by DIGITALEUROPE and European Schoolnet in conjunction with twenty national partners.
