A key partner of the Digital Skills & Jobs Platform - today, and tomorrow
The Slovenian Digital Skills & Jobs Coalition is proud to showcase the successful realisation of this innovative national initiative, created under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme and part of the EU’s DIGITAL Europe Programme. You can visit the website of the Slovenian Coalition to know more about its purpose, aim, and how it fits into the larger DSJP Community.
The Digital Skills and Jobs Platform has become an indispensable hub for promoting and enhancing digital competences and work opportunities in Europe. Through a wide range of high-quality information, resources and opportunities, the platform has helped bring digital skills closer to society – from people encountering digital technologies for the first time to experienced professionals looking for targeted content for their field of expertise. Visit the community on DSJP to see how countries from all over the world connect, cooperate and engage in knowledge-sharing.
Added value of the Slovenian project
The project has brought remarkable advances in digital skills and work opportunities in Europe. It has helped to foster digital competences, thereby increasing the competitiveness of the EU labour market. It is also an evidence of an increased cooperation between EU Member States and has contributed to an interactive community that enables knowledge-sharing and growth.
Women and girls in ICT is a key topic for the Slovenian Digital Coalition. The joint events “Girls & ICT vol.1” and “Girls & ICT vol.2”, organised together with National Coalitions in the Czech republic and Slovakia, supported the DSJP autumn campaign to motivate more young people, and especially girls, to embark on careers in tech. And this is far from all. Slovenian good practice initiatives like “Female Engineer of the Year” made significant impact on promoting engineering professions amongst women and girls, and demystifying the engineering profession. Women & ICT was a topic also at the Women for Digitalisation event. During the Open Forums ran by the Slovenian Digital Coalition, other key digital topics like AI, cybersecurity, and digital law were also discussed.
The Slovenian Digital Coalition supports other groups at risk of social exclusion too. Symbiosis Mobiln@, the first travelling classroom for grown-ups in Slovenia, aims to bring IT tools closer to adults older than 50. A range of other tools aim to give a good overview to the Slovenian digital skills landscape and a way for upskilling to all: from the annual survey on the need for digital profiles in Slovenian companies, through the self-assessment tool for digital competencies developed by DIH Slovenia, to the overview of study programmes, which makes it possible to predict employment trends across digital profiles.
