BasquePRO Elkargoak: Ikanos project

In its quest to implement a proficient digital society through innovative ICTs that increase competition and improve the quality of life in the Basque Country, the Basque Government is developing the European Commission’s strategy by creating a model for the assessment, certification and endorsement of digital skills through the Ikanos project.

The first stage of the Ikanos programme has addressed the digital profile of the public administration and education. This second stage now involves the professional and business environment.

Professional associations play a key role as a bridge between business and the public at large; in view of this, the Basque Association of Economists held a meeting at Bilbao Metropoli-30 with those responsible for the Ikanos project to discuss the role the Professional Associations of BasquePRO Elkargoak play in the model for the assessment, certification and endorsement of digital skills for professionals.
