The eSCC brings together
representatives of the commercial, informal (open, distance or adult learning)
and formal (state-recognized) ICT training sectors with the aim of securing
endorsement for and use of ICT industry and other non-formal certifications
within government endorsed education and training frameworks. Members are drawn
from across the ICT skills and training industry, with activities coordinated
via a secretariat provided by CompTIA
The eSCC aims to develop mechanisms leading to the endorsement and/or
recognition of industry and other non-formal certifications by public sector
authorities in the EU Member States. This includes:
Promoting the role of industry and other non-formal certifications within EU
national education frameworks.
Working to achieve EU Member State and/or regional endorsement of industry and
other non-formal certifications so that they are accepted as standard and can
qualify for public funding and/or tax credits
Advising the European Commission in its ongoing consultations relating to
formal recognition and public-private ICT training partnerships, particularly
with a view to helping implement the recommendations of European e-Skills
forum.
