We live in an ever-changing world, trends follow each other in rapid succession and our living and working environment is increasingly influenced by technology. This demands a lot from us; we have to be able to move with the times, be agile and keep learning and developing different or new skills.
That is why EUR wants to strengthen the "Digital Skills" or "21st century skills" of its employees, enabling them to work effectively (together) in a diverse, demanding and constantly changing international environment. Paying attention to employees' "Digital Skills" is necessary because EUR wants to timely anticipate the impact of an increasingly digitalised working environment.
To this end, we have established the "Digital Skills" programme. Here, we offer a standard training programme and are happy to work with you to create a tailor-made programme that suits your needs to become and stay fit for the future.
Digital Skills?
What exactly are digital skills? We work with a competency framework for digital skills based on a model developed by the European Commission.
Within the competence framework for Digital Skills, 6 themes are central. Within the Digital Skills learning line, we offer training within these competence areas and develop tailor-made solutions to match them in various learning formats.
1. ICT basic skills
Having sufficient knowledge and skills to work with (basic) technology and IT applications in the work environment.
2. Information & Data Processing
The skills to work with data, data and information and create meaningful insights. This means being able to locate and retrieve data, digital data, and information while assessing its credibility.
3. Media Literacy
Understanding how modern media works and recognising the positive and negative effects of its use in professional contexts.
4. Communication & Collaboration
Interact, communicate and collaborate via digital technologies, taking into account cultural differences in the working environment.
5. Safety & Security
Protecting devices, documents and personal data in a digital working environment.
