Given the growing importance of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the context of the Global Economy and the enormous potential
of this sector , there is a need for a common framework that enables ICT
Professionals to describe and develop their capabilities and which allows
companies and employers to identify which individuals who possess the
competences they require.
The European e-Competence Framework (e-CF) is a reference framework of
competences applied within the Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) Sector. This Framework can used and understood by ICT User and Supply Companies, ICT Practitioners, Managers and Human Resources (HR) Departments, the Public Sector, Educational and Social partners across Europe.
In order to achieve a consensus and useful results at National Level, the involvement of ICT Sector Players and Stakeholders from
Business, Policy Making and Education is crucial and

necessary.
