The UPskill Program is supported by INCoDe.2030 and aims to challenge people to work in the “digital” sector. This initiative is an opportunity for companies to boost their teams with new skills, but also for people to re-qualify themselves to work in a critical sector meant for the economy.
The 2022 edition of the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) revealed that Portugal has increased one position compared to 2021. It currently ranks 15th among the 27 member states of the European Union (EU) and reflects the national society and economy digital development efforts.
The study for the employability of future non ICT professions aims to respond to the demands of the labor market, as a process for the digital transition adaptation in the Portuguese’s economy. Therefore, it sought to identify 51 priority occupations that would benefit from Digital Skills qualification in a time period of 3 to 6 years. It also provide the definition of a framework of digital abilities that allow the design of skills based on different levels of expertise, which ensure the construction of training paths for each of the occupational profiles.
