The initiative aims at:
- To help provide technology
access to train, and where
applicable
certify, millions of people
across Europe with information
communication
technology and other skill-sets
required by current or potential
employers over the coming 5
years. The initiative aims
to focus
particularly on young unemployed
and older workers that have
lower employability chances
or are
at risk of loosing their jobs
because they do not have the
right skills.
- To build upon already existing
education, training and community
programmes, to further extend
them and develop synergies
across all key stakeholders
to deliver
higher employability opportunities
and more positive impact to
the end beneficiaries and
help make
Europe more competitive.
- To jointly raise awareness
on the importance of delivering
21st Century Skills for Employability
in Europe and to help European
Citizens realise their potential.
To this end, Alliance members
will co-brand the initiative,
share visibility as appropriate
and leverage this single message
for maximum impact.
To enable synergy partnerships
and enhanced cooperation between
Alliance members, pilot pools
or clusters per focus country
will be established among partners
(with one or two members as
Country Rapporteur). These "Country
Clusters" will operate
in an open mode and in associative
partnership with local technology
platforms or other multi-stakeholders
whether they be small or large
able to take part in the Alliance
efforts if they have the know-how
and are willing to pool this
knowledge. The initiative will start rolling
out concrete actions with a focus
on the following four countries:
