The Governing Board advocates the views of the coalition partners at European level and acts as a link between pledgers, national coalitions and social partners. The 12 members of the Board represent all stakeholder groups in the Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition: pledging members, national coalitions and social partners.
Anja Monrad, Senior Vice President of Dell for Central and Eastern Europe, has been appointed Chair of the Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition Governing Board
The Board met for the first time in September 2017. It met with Commissioner Mariya Gabriel during the Digital Assembly 2018 in Sofia to discuss the action plan to boost the Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition. The document was adopted in September 2018.
Action plan
The action plan outlines the Coalition’s priorities for the coming months. The plan sets out:
- how to expand current membership to all sectors of the economy, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
- how to include all actors and networks that work on the ground with digital skills actions
- how to ensure that the EU’s future budget includes a focus on the development of digital competences to support the ongoing digital transformation
