> Need constant update of programmes, training etc Important (basic) divides exist, need action /// (Even youth lack necessary critical skills, privacy awareness -> Not about generation divide) and technologies change continuously 3) the intermediaries have so far been overlooked
Access to ICT and advanced digital competences are crucial for current and future: - Lifelong learning - Employability - Self development - Social inclusion - Social participation According to a foresight study on eSkills demand and supply, even with slowly recuperating European economy, there will be lack of ICT practitioners by 2015, ICT practitioners are needed in all sectors, not only on ICT sector (54% of ICT practitioners work in the ICT using industries and 46% in the ICT sector itself), Empirica (2009), Monitoring e-Skills demand and supply in Europe. CEDEFOP : "The results of Cedefop’s forecast show that the occupational structure of Europe is moving towards knowledge and skill-intensive jobs." With a little bit of interpretation, you could use this at least as an indicator that ICT skills (which as we know are an important prerequisite for knowledge intensive jobs) will become more important....
Here, as we explained that DC are evolving, so are the digital divides For example: if we take Social Computin as an example, one needs much more than PC and Internet skills to be able to fully (and securely) reap the benefits of SC applications, in particular, capacity to share an collaborate and privacy and security awareness The implication is that DC policies need to be constantly updated to technology and usage developments
Carers and family and frineds as multipliers need other types of policies as these are more difficult to reach (informal actors) vs the rest above who are formal actors in institutions. And in addition they have played so far a crucial role in teaching DC (Eurostat shows that this is the most often way people do learn DC). For example creating resources to be used has been identified as a needed policy.
Every European Digital Ensure everyone acquires Digital Competences as a key competence for the future and remains competent -> need to monitor and address evolving digital divides 2) Supporting those socially excluded or at risk of social exclusion (unemployed, immigrants, people with low education levels, people with disabilities, and elderly, as well as marginalised young people) Addressing those digitally excluded (older people, people with disabilities, women, lower education groups, unemployed and “less-developed” regions) Engaging multiple stakeholders Understanding how to leverage the role of intermediaries as multipliers ( User empowerment & autonomy; LLL: Economic, Social & Civic participation; Engagement with Local Community) (role of TSO; carers as intermediaries; DC needs of eInclusion intermediaries and actors as multipliers) (Eurostat - place of access: 38% only at home; 41% at work; 14% other (TCs, libraries, etc?); 12% place of education
