The topic Digital Skills and Jobs Platform: The National Coalitions for Digital Skills and Jobs under the Digital Europe Programme call “Advanced Digital Skills” and aims to strengthen the governance and effectiveness of digital skills policies in Europe by supporting the expansion and coordination of National Coalitions for Digital Skills and Jobs. These coalitions connect EU initiatives with national and local stakeholders, turning strategy into action. By enhancing national platforms, improving interoperability with the central Digital Skills and Jobs Platform, and fostering collaboration across ecosystems, the initiative seeks to create a more coherent, accessible, and inclusive digital skills landscape across Europe.

Expected outcome: Connected National Coalitions for Digital Skills and Jobs to the Core Platform.

Scope

This action aims to further extend the activities of National Coalitions’ websites established under the CEF calls in 2019 and 2020 and the DIGITAL call of 2024, while also supporting the creation of new websites in Member States that do not yet have a National Coalition or a dedicated website. Activities under the second work strand will: 

• Develop and connect the infrastructures (websites) of National Coalitions that are not yet connected to the Core Platform through interoperable interconnections, integrating and enabling exchanges with the Core Platform components. 

• Provide access to national/regional/local actors and practices, building interoperable links to provide services relevant to the local context. 

• Expand and engage National Coalitions that are already connected to the Core Platform.
