Closing remarks
We are looking forward to your participation in the EITCI Institute's European IT qualification reference standards supporting the Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition goals.
It doesn't matter what country you are from and whether or not it is in the European Union. EITCI Institute works internationally supporting efforts of building of the Digital Society of tommorow, realizing that Digital Skills are the most empowering skills to positively shape the future for all of us. EITCI Institute believes that adhering to the high quality standards in professional IT competencies dissemination will help move societies forward in better understanding of their environment, science, technology, work efficiency, healthcare and other areas. Digital skills have much greater impact than just introducing new ways to increasing efficiency of how information is processed and communicated. This is because information is about knowledge and knowledge is about responsibility. Pursuing development and international dissemination of high quality standards in IT competencies, EITCI Institute understands the problems of people living with disabilities. EITCI believes that IT skills are one of the most important means to help at least partially overcome physical bariers related to disabilities. Therefore EITCI Institute since its conception in 2008 continues to put all efforts in promoting its Certification services free of charge to all interested disabled persons. EITCI Institute also realizes that our future is with our children and thus pursues free IT skills dissemination and certification among school youth internationally, making all its Certification standards freely avaiable to all school youth before the tertiary education level. Additionally to accelerate growth of the Inclusive Digital Society, EITCI Institute seeks to support people of low socioeconomic status worldwide in providing a free access to high quality IT education and certification, as well as develops the services of IT ID e-CV along with the integrated Digital Literacy Certificate (DLC) and the EITCI Cloud European IT Professional Platform, providing these supportive services free of charge to all interested individuals internationally.
Finally, one of the important goals of EITCI Institute is to counter gender inequalities and disparities, especially in developing countries where these asymmetries are most pronounced. EITCI Institute understands that a key to effective inclusion of women into the modern economy with no prejudices lies in effective dissemination of IT skills and competencies especially among women to enable them taking strategic positions in globally developing Inclusive Digital Society. Since 2008 EITCI Institute participated in ESF funded projects aimed at developing IT competencies of women and girls in the EU. Now EITCI Institute aims to scale these activities globally.
Increasing efforts in achieving its goals and supporting especially excluded social groups, EITCI Institute, as a member of the European Commission's Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition, has recently launched its own pledge initiative within the Coalition. More details are available in EITCI Institute's DSJC pledge initiative and the subsidized access to EITCI Certification services is part of the activity that EITCI aims to expand, also countering gender inequalities.
