  2. Workshop Purposes (N022) • 1) to provide a platform for ICT-Skills stakeholders ... and develop a common view ... • 2) to enable them to contribute ... by promoting the views of the workshop's members ... • 3) to undertake development work on required standards ... with relevant sources funding ... • 4) to seek means of collaboration with other relevant bodies ...

  3. Previous Achievements • 2003-04 • CWA 14925: Generic ICT Skills Profiles for the ICT supply industry- a review by CEN/ISSS ICT-Skills Workshop of the Career Space work • CWA 15005: ICT Curriculum Development Guidelines... • 2005-06 • CWA 15515: European ICT Skills Meta-Framework -State-of-the-Art Review, Clarification of the Realities, and Recommendations for Next Steps • 2007-08 • CWA 15893-1: European e-Competence Framework • CWA 15893-2: e-CF user guidelines for ICT sector players

  4. Recent & Current Projects • 2009 • CWA 16052: ICT Certification in Europe • CWA 16053: Interoperability of European e-Career Services • expected in autumn 2010 • CWA xxxxx: End-user e-Skills Framework Requirements • CWA xxxxx: European e-Competence Framework in Action • expected in autumn 2011 • CWA xxxxx: e-Job Profiles • CWA xxxxx: ICT Certification in Action • CWA xxxxx: Implementing e-CF into ICT SMEs • CWA ?????: EUROMED – establishing a Euro-Mediterranean Repository of digital professions and ICT skills

  6. Maturity of the ICT sector • ICT supply chain is getting longer and longer • innovative service models are seen as an escape from complete commoditization • “steady” innovation (Moore's law still valid!) • the gold rush is over:pioneers are changing themselvesor leaving the space to breeders and farmers

  7. The hybrid ICT professionals • “Pure techies” on the leading edge of R&D, designing innovative components and products: • general purpose systems (e.g. a typical PC) • dedicated systems, with ICT components embedded in other products • Application specialistsrequired to design innovative solutions in a given context (both domain-specific and even organization-specific) • Look at IBM's shift from hardware to software products, and then from products to services...

  8. The complete range of skills

  9. Towards a comprehensiveEN standard on ICT skills ? • The two current projects could converge and result into a comprehensive formal standard: • End User e-Skills Framework • e-Competence Framework in Action Innovation and e-business skills are yet to be explored and defined (our WS's new frontier) In pioneering times IT users had to be technology experts as well: a single set of researchers/amateurs existed. An increased maturity of the sector requires now to define the different roles and to come to common views and standards both on user and professional skills.

  10. CWA16052 “taking into account the rest of the world”

  11. Far beyond the frontier • The European e-Competence Framework could become practically available to organisations through a set of services built on top of it: • not only definitions, but also measurement • national qualifications frameworks • self-assessment (diagnosis) • training & testing • certification The European Commission is not willing to override National Governments, nor to act as a market player offering such services!

  12. Certifying competences • Learning and certification – acquiring relevant qualification • (Source: AIFB, 2004, University of Karlsruhe, Germany)
