The European Alliance on Skills for Employability
The initiative aims at:
- To help provide technology access to
train, and where applicable certify, millions
of
people across Europe with information communication
technology and other skill-sets required
by current or potential employers over
the coming 5 years. The initiative aims
to focus
particularly on young unemployed and older
workers that have lower employability chances
or are at risk of loosing their jobs because
they do not have the right skills.
- To
build upon already existing education,
training and community programmes, to further
extend them and develop synergies across
all key stakeholders to deliver
higher employability opportunities and more positive impact to the end beneficiaries
and help make Europe more competitive.
- To jointly raise awareness on the
importance of delivering 21st Century Skills
for Employability in Europe and to help European Citizens realise their potential.
To this end, Alliance members will co-brand the initiative, share visibility
as appropriate and leverage this single message for maximum impact.
To enable synergy partnerships and enhanced
cooperation between Alliance members, pilot
pools or clusters per focus country will
be established among partners
(with one or two members as Country Rapporteur). These "Country Clusters" will
operate in an open mode and in associative partnership with local technology
platforms or other multi-stakeholders whether they be small or large able
to take part in the Alliance efforts if they have the know-how and are willing
to pool this knowledge.
The initiative will start rolling out concrete
actions with a focus on the following four countries:
