Welcome

Demand
for
e-‐skills
has
been
growing
steadily

during
the
last
years
all
over
the
world.
According

to
the
study
published
in
the
frame
of
European

e-‐Skills
Forum:
“e-‐Skills
shortages
will
result
in
an

excess
demand
of
384.000
ICT
practitioners
in

2015.”
(Körte,
W.
B.,
Hüsing
T.:
Evaluation
of
the

Implementation
of
the
EC's
Communication
on

"e-‐Skills
for
the
21st
Century",
Empirica,
Bonn).

An
important
conclusion
of
related
studies
was,

that
European
companies
"were
increasingly

struggling
to
hire
people
who
were
competent
in

both
information
technology
and
business

management.
Companies
need
so
called
"T-‐
Shaped"
professionals
who
enter
the
workforce

with
a
strong
business
understanding,
‘soft’
skills

and
knowledge
of
leading-‐edge
technology.”

(Fonstad,
N.,
Lanivyn,
B.:
European
e-‐
Competence
Curricula
development
guidelines,

Final
Reports,
European
Commission,
European

e-‐Skills
Forum,
2010).

EUCIP
Core
-‐
at
European
level
recognized
IT

qualification
-‐
is
an
answer
exactly
to
this

demand
as
its
competence
framework
strongly

focuses
on
the
business
skills
related
to
the

fundamental
e-‐skills.
The
certificate
was

established
by
CEPIS
(Council
of
European

Professional
Informatics
Societies)
and
has
been

used
with
success
already
in
seven
European

countries.

IT-‐Shape
project
aims
to
adapt
EUCIP
Core

certificate
in
the
Hungarian
Vocational
Education.

The
main
impact
of
the
project
are
the
increased

chances
of
Hungarian
(young
and
adult)
people

getting
their
placement
at
enterprises,
by

offering
them
internationally
recognized,
true

pan-‐European
IT
qualification.
