BEST PRACTICES

In the course of LEADS, an extensive list of best practices has been compiled. These have been extracted from various sources, including conferences, high-level workshops and roundtables organised or attended by LEADS, as well as presentations shared by the SPECIALISED projects in the context of the regular Thematic Working Group meetings.

The best practices address several core topics with regards to Advanced Digital Skills (ADS), including:

  • Skills Definition
  • Programme Design

  • Certification/Accreditation

As such, they are relevant for a wide range of stakeholders, or ‘Target Beneficiaries’, namely:

  • Private training providers
  • Public HEI and VET providers
  • Labour force – employed
  • Labour force – unemployed
