The document proposes a prototype for an e-Skills Landscape Service and self-assessment tool. The service would provide information on e-Skills quality, demand and supply, map certificates, and share best practices. It would include tools for self-assessment using the European e-Competence Framework and connecting users to ICT professional profiles. A tiny user survey found professionals, employers, and trainers viewed the proposed service as mostly welcome and useful.
