Estonia and Germany join the Digital Skills and Jobs Platform

As of January 2026, Germany and Estoniahave connected their National Coalition websites to the Digital Skills and Jobs Platform, marking an important step in strengthening Europe’s coordinated approach to digital skills development.  

With these two new connections, National Coalitions are now active in 23 countries. Their websites contribute weekly, high-quality content to the Platform, showcasing national digital skills strategies, training opportunities, flagship initiatives, events, and resources. Further National Coalitions are expected to join shortly, reinforcing the Platform as the central European hub for digital skills intelligence and collaboration.

National Coalitions are key policy enablers for advancing digital skills at both national and European level. Since 2021, they have established a two-way information system with the Platform. Initially supported by the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) these efforts are now funded under theDigital Europe Programme, with a total budget of over €8.1 billion supporting Europe’s digital transformation.
