What is REBOOT SKILLS?

The train of digitization is racing ahead, changing the way we define digital skills and the extent to which we depend on technology. The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the existing shortage of digital expertise in Europe. Europe has a systematic gap between market needs and the supply of (digital) skills. 53% of companies trying to recruit ICT specialists are struggling. As a result, there is insufficient use of innovative digital technologies. There is a great need for upskilling of both employed and job seekers.

The Digital Europe program supports strategic projects to meet these challenges and increase the pool of digital experts in Europe. REBOOT SKILLS aims to upskill the European manufacturing industry. Through cooperation between higher education, research and industry, a broadly accessible and low-threshold training offer is created around four pillars: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics and Cybersecurity.
