Spain - Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition

The Spanish National Coalition for Digital Skills and Jobs was launched in 2017 and brings together more than 200 stakeholders, including companies, education and training providers, universities, foundations, associations, social partners, and public administrations. The Coalition is coordinated by AMETIC, which acts as the technical secretariat in Spain.

Its mission is to strengthen cooperation between public and private stakeholders to reduce the gap between the supply and demand of digital talent, promote digital skills across society and support Spain’s contribution to the European Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030 objectives.

The Coalition focuses on employability, upskilling and reskilling, digital inclusion, education, ICT professionals, advanced digital skills, and the dissemination of initiatives that promote digital talent. Among its flagship activities are the Digital Skills Awards Spain, which recognise outstanding projects in digital literacy, ICT talent, education and vocational training, diversity and digital inclusion.

In recent years, Spain has also reinforced its national commitment to digital skills through the National Digital Skills Plan, which supports citizens, teachers, public employees, SMEs, and vulnerable groups, having already trained more than two million people.
