    Publication
    Brussels : European Commission, 2013.
    Summary
    This brochure presents the main findings and conclusions of the study “European e-Skills Quality Labels for ICT Industry Training and Certifications”. The main goal was to develop proposals for a European e-skills quality label, along with prototype online services and tools to promote transparency and to provide guidance in the market for ICT industry training and certification. The proposed label is based on the European e-Competence Framework and EQAVET, and the overall result is a mechanism that makes it possible to distinguish different types of certification and training, referenced against the e-Competence Framework. In addition, new access is provided to information and evidence about demand and supply of e-skills in Europe, along with a prototype service and tool to support career development, job placement and recruitment, by giving guidance on certification. The prototype of an online landscape, self-assessment tool and web portal is offered to stakeholders interested in its further development and enhancement, with a view to creating a fully fledged service in the job placement, recruitment, e-skills development and certification market.

    Publication
    [Brussels] : [European Commission], 2013.
    Summary
    The key objective of this study is to help reduce innovation skills shortages, gaps and mismatches in Europe, by providing sound, unbiased empirical evidence on how the supply and demand for different types of ICT-related skills is evolving in Europe under different socio-economic scenarios. A sufficient skills base in this domain is an important enabler for competitiveness and innovation in Europe. The evidence delivered by this study shall encourage and facilitate the dialogue and cooperation between policy makers and relevant stakeholders at the EU and national levels about the implications and required actions to be taken to address current as well as anticipated skills gaps and shortages. A special focus of the study is on higher-level innovation skills (which we call (le-leadership skills") next to the analysis of the supply-demand developments for ICT practitioner and ICT user skills.
