Technology – invaluable for continuous learning and recognition of prior learning

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.
