This guide has been developed to support actors with digital skilling functions they provide in employability or employment contexts1 to respond to the digital transformation in the labour market.

Labour market intermediaries (LMI) provide a wide set of skilling related services which aim to develop the digital competences of employees or people looking for a job, including: collection and dissemination of labour market information; outreach and individual support; career guidance; support for adult learning; fostering transparency of skills and qualifications; job experience and placement; job search assistance and matching; and monitoring and after care.

In providing these functions, DigComp, the European Digital Competence Framework, provides support to LMIs due to its distinctive features. Its consensus-based origin and EU endorsement provides it with credibility and reliability. DigComp brings a new view of what digital competence is, and its clear and solid structure, completeness, flexibility and neutrality, have been key enabling and success implementation factors.

This Guide offers specific guidelines and tips on the use of DigComp for the implementation of digital skilling services.
