Your answers of the following questionnaire (http://goo.gl/forms/HwCWoBjJVV) will provide national-level input to a study on the-state-of-the-art on ICT professions and market with employability trends within the “e-CF Council” project financed under the Erasmus+ program of EC.

The study will provide explicit common scenarios for matching ICT training programs with the relevant international competence frameworks and standards.  It will involve VET providers, competence certifications and credit systems; social partners and professional associations, legal and ethical issues. The study will contribute to the existing initiatives such as CEN Workshop on ICT Skills, European union’s strategy for e-Skills in the 21st Century, e-skills for the 21^st Century, Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs, e-Leadership, etc.

The e-CF COUNCIL project builds a stable network of reference stakeholders in the ICT sector to foster ICT professionalism at European and International level. The development of recognized and joint ICT VET programmes and certifications based on the new ICT competence standard e-CF and the ESCO IT occupations is the initial and concrete object around which the network is establishing.

Your role as a National Respondent is to gather information about relevant policy (ICT policy, e-skills policy, (vocational) education and training policy and labour market / employment policy) and stakeholder initiatives of relevance. Please, disseminate the questionnaire among the relevant partners and stakeholders.

Thank you in advance for your time!

Sincerely yours, eCF Council team
