PLEDGE VIEWER INTEGRATES NEW FUNCTION FOR PACT FOR SKILLS

Pledges made to the Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition have already reached over 16 million beneficiaries with digital skills training, certification, placements, and awareness raising activities taking place within nearly 380 initiatives across four target groups: citizens, labour force, ICT specialists and in education.

Now, organisations who pledge to the Coalition for the upskilling and reskilling in digital skills of the Labour Force and ICT Specialist groups can also indicate their participation in the Pact for Skills through the ‘Special Interest’ field. These labelled pledges will benefit from all the searchable functions and visibility provided by the Pledge Viewer, including the Scoreboard. 

To celebrate this, a new format of the Pledger logo has been developed so that pledgers can demonstrate their dual commitment on their own website and channels. 

Organisations interested in shaping the digital labour force of the future are encouraged to visit the Pledge Viewer and be inspired to take part and make a pledge. Potential pledgers can avail of a wealth of resources to help them from the Support Page with personalised support from the DSJC Secretariat at [email protected]   

The Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition

The Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition is a unique community supported by the European Commission that:

  • Enables stakeholders to propose actions, programmes, initiatives to improve the digital skills situation in Europe.
  • Offers a platform of exchange to learn from peers and to showcase actions, initiatives developed and their impact.

Any such organisation, be it an SME or corporate, an education provider, a social partner, or non-governmental organisation is encouraged to become a member of the Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition on the Pledge Viewer directly. 

Since 2016, members of Coalition have made pledges to tackle the digital skills gap and have taken action to provide skills training, job placements, certifications and other activities addressing four target groups: All Citizens, Labour Force, ICT Specialists, and Education.
