European e-Skills Forum 2004

The EMF participated in the European e-Skills Forum 2004 established by the Commission in 2003.

ICT skills are important for employability because the development of e-business is increasing the demand for higher-level conceptual skills. A number of sources confirm a shortage in e-skills. The e-Skills Forum targeted innovative actions and models for higher e-skills in several areas like education and training, as well as industrial and labour policies.
