Leaders of the ICT sector have launched a new initiative to promote e-Skills in Europe. Set up under the leadership of the European e-Skills Association (EeSA) and supported by the European Commission’s DG Enterprise and Industry, the pilot e-Skills career portal is a keystone in long-term strategy to address the skills gap in the ICT sector.

With demand for ICT workers set to rise in the future, the members of EeSA  (CEPIS, Cisco Systems, CompTIA, Econet, EITO, ECDL Foundation, European Software Association, EXIN, Global Knowledge Network, Hewlett Packard,  Intel, Microsoft, Motorola and Oracle) have taken up the challenge to meet this demand.

The eSkills career pilot portal demystifies careers in the ICT industry, provides ICT-related learning resources and guidance on qualifications in the field. Designed as a port-of-call for ICT careers, the portal intends to be an information point for young people, providing them with appropriate guidance and support in choosing their path for ICT careers.
