It gives us great pleasure to invite you to ESSA’s virtual launch event “A Software Skills Strategy for Europe” on February 10, starting at 10:00 CET.
How to educate for software roles? What specific training can we deploy or build on? How to validate competences and skills? Join us to find answers to all these questions and get real-world good practice examples.
Discover in exclusivity the European Software Skills Strategy and what perspectives it brings to skill, upskill, and reskill individuals into high demand professional software roles.
