TIEKE has a long history of identifying and developing skills. Working in international forums has provided valuable experience of finding common ground, despite approaches differing from country to country. Collaboration is key to developing knowledge on a Europe-wide scale and promoting the adoption of microcredentials, among other things.

The competitiveness of the logistics sector increasingly depends on the use of data and digitalisation. It is vital for businesses to identify their digital capabilities and use the right technology to keep pace with competitors and legislation. TIEKE can help logistics companies improve their digital skills, increase efficiency and ensure wellbeing at work.

The competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) increasingly depends on digital skills. Companies that fail to make adequate use of digital technology risk falling behind. TIEKE has long been developing methods to help companies identify their digital competence and find the appropriate solutions for improvement.

In today’s dynamic work and educational environments, it’s crucial to make all skills and competencies visible. Traditional certificates often fail to capture the full range of a person’s abilities, especially those acquired through professional experiences, hobbies, or volunteer work. Open Badges offer a solution to this challenge. In the Digi Teachers project, Open Badges were used to assess and recognize teachers’ competencies, highlighting their potential to promote continuous learning and professional development.

The circular economy will continue to be a key theme in all our economic activities, which is why developing circular economy competences is vital. Competences should also be measurable and visible – in this pilot circular economy competences will be recognised and made visible by means of digital Open Badges.

Data spaces will have an impact on many companies and organisations in the near future. But what are data spaces, really? What opportunities do they offer, and how can we make the most of them?

The diversity competence of leaders holds a key position in the creation of inclusive working communities. To create change, training that supports the promotion of diversity must be developed. Without the leadership’s commitment, the benefits brought about by diversity will not be achieved.

The high rate of digitalisation makes it important to keep learning new skills, and to recognise such skills. Skill recognition and development calls for strategic thinking, data on skills, practical tools and collaboration. Good examples of skills recognition models and tools include badges, data spaces and a digital compass.

DigiTeachers working online project has been a significant initiative aimed at enhancing digital competencies among educators. One of the important outcomes of this project has been the piloting phase, which served as a practical test to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed digital training modules.

In DigiTeachers Working Online pilot training European teachers were provided with digital skills and tools to be used in teaching. Training consisted of three modules, and each module´s skills were evaluated. When a module was passed, an Open Badge was issued.

With the rapid pace of technological development, continuous learning and updating of skills are essential.

A joint project between TIEKE and business advisory organisations, the Digital Business Advisory project, is developing both the digital skills of SMEs and the capacity of business advisors to advise companies on their digital development journey. The project will produce a nationwide advisory model that will significantly improve the access of businesses to digital advice tailored to their needs.

Digi Teachers Working Online project has progressed to the piloting phase, and the first version of the website has been published. In a five-country Erasmus+ collaboration project, the aim is to enhance the capabilities of teachers and instructors working with learners with special needs to implement online and hybrid teaching.

The LogDigiS project promotes digital skills, work well-being and productivity in in-house logistics SMEs in the digital transformation.
