The ‘IT Professionalism Conference 2021’ was held during three half-day online sessions from April 20 to 22 by the eSkills Malta Foundation, in collaboration and partnership with the Irish Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition and IT Professionalism Europe, which work closely with key public actors from the European Commission and the European Parliament.
To address current and new challenges, one of the EU targets is to have 20 million IT professionals working by 2030 by revitalising current initiatives for professionalising the European IT workforce and calling on all stakeholders to increase their efforts and cooperation.
During the conference, participants gathered perspectives from Europe and other continents to identify the steps necessary to help meet the new EU target goals, including political initiatives, developing technologies and the outlook for young IT professionals.
