Proiectul Our Digital Future
The Our Digital Future project is funded by the ERASMUS+ KA226 program of the European Union and submitted with the project number: 2020-1-PL01-KA226-VET-095406.
The ODF project contributes to the pledge of the EU Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition, as the intellectual outputs that will be created within the project are designed to promote the acquisition of digital skills amongst Europeans. The project aims to raise awareness concerning the future digital jobs. Moreover, it is designed to boost the interest and capacity of career advisors to promote this type of jobs, in order to address the digital skills gap. Additionally, it sets to influence the educational systems to develop future talents that match the needs of employers and of the emerging digital economy.
