Context

The development of key and emerging technologies is changing the way we define digital skills and the extent to which we rely on technology. COVID-19 has highlighted the current shortage of digital experts in Europe. Europe faces a significant and systemic gap between market needs and the supply of skills related to advanced digital technologies.

53% of companies looking to hire ICT specialists face difficulties, and only 65% possess digital skills “above basic levels.” This contributes to slowing the adoption of advanced digital technologies, which are essential for both the workforce and job seekers needing to upskill.

The Digital Europe Programme supports strategic projects to address these challenges, promoting the development of a qualified pool of European digital experts, encouraging cooperation between higher education, research, and businesses, stimulating interest in digital careers among European citizens, and attracting top talent.

Objectives

The goal of REBOOT SKILLS is to enable workers who are employed—or wish to be employed—in the manufacturing sector to access advanced digital upskilling opportunities, helping them keep pace with the latest developments in cybersecurity, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT).

The project brings together EU training institutions and professional organizations to offer a tailored reskilling model based on advanced digital skills through short training courses, which will empower workers and the manufacturing industry during this critical moment for the European manufacturing ecosystem.

The specific objectives of the project are to:

  • Create a sustainable and collaborative training offer that meets the digitalization needs of SMEs operating in key areas.
  • Facilitate access for SME owners, managers, and employees to high-level digital training that is easily accessible in a multi-site context.
  • Increase the number of men and women capable of designing, developing, and implementing digital solutions in the manufacturing industry.
