The European Commission is asking organisations across Europe to join and help provide these sorely needed digital skills by making a pledge to the Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition and sharing their initiative across Europe.

Pledges can:

• Enable traditional SME owners to manage their businesses and move activities online (e.g. sales)
  
  


• Equip SME employees with the tools to meet their new and changing roles
    


• Supply teleworkers with the best tools to find their new routine
    


• Provide  ICT service specialists with the possibilities to upskill in advanced digital technologies and develop their own opportunities
    


• Empower the self-employed to uncover new revenue streams
    


• Reduce the risk of exclusion and loneliness for older adults and other at-risk groups
    


• Help teachers and parents create new digital resources and utilise digital education platforms
    


• Support the continued progress of learners from primary and secondary schools
    


• Create the next generation of coders and makers
