THEIR CHALLENGE

ECOKT – digital up-skilling platform for young unemployed.

In 2015 the European Commission’s Directorate‑General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT) issued a call for proposals for the implementation of a €2m pilot project called the European Commission Open Knowledge Technologies (ECOKT) – Digital Up-skilling Platform for Young Unemployed. The platform aims to bridge the gap between the digital skills of the young unemployed in Europe and changing needs of the European labour market. A €2m co-funding grant was available to support the development of the project over 2 years and the competition for this substantial grant was very intense.
