Join International Digital Skills Program

It’s a common knowledge that we live in the employee’s market. Or do we? Fast development of digital solutions and automation leaves us with the workforce that lacks basic skills of the future.

The program is dedicated to students and young professionals in line with Europe 2020 strategy, as well as New Skills Agenda for Europe. A high number of flagship initiatives in both programs is focused on improving the employment situation of young people.
