DigiAdvance – Advancing Key Digital Skill Capabilities in the SME Sector

DigiAdvance is an EU-funded platform designed to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) improve their digital skills. In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, SMEs often struggle to stay competitive due to a lack of digital competencies. DigiAdvance addresses this issue through two key resources: the Skills Mapping Tool and the Course Repository.

Skills Mapping Tool

This tool is tailored to assist SMEs in identifying the specific digital skills they need to succeed. By offering a structured assessment it helps businesses pinpoint gaps between their current capabilities and the skills required for effective digital transformation. The tool analyzes key areas such as digital marketing, cybersecurity, data management, and digital customer engagement. By identifying where the business lacks expertise, SME owners and managers can strategically plan the upskilling or reskilling of their workforce, ensuring that their teams are equipped to adapt to new technologies and market demands.

Courses

Once skill gaps have been identified through the Skills Mapping Tool, DigiAdvance provides SMEs with access to a comprehensive library of training materials. This repository of courses includes both general and industry-specific courses, addressing a wide range of topics like AI, e-commerce, automation, and software development. The courses are curated to meet the specific needs of SME employees, allowing businesses to choose the most relevant training for their teams. This ensures a targeted, practical approach to upskilling, enabling SMEs to stay competitive and leverage new technologies effectively.

Together, these tools aim to drive digital innovation in SMEs, helping them grow in an increasingly digital economy. Explore more at DigiAdvance.
