The ICT Skills Workshop has been operational since early 2003.
From its inception the Workshop has contributed to the long-term e-Skills agenda of the European Commission (EC). Information on the EC's e-Skills policy initiatives is available from the DG ENTR e-Skills web pages.

Workshop status
The Workshop is currently finalizing the CWAs on the following 2 subjects:
At the beginning of 2010, the Workshop also started work on the following:
- e-Job profiles, based on the European e-Competences framework
- ICT Certification in Action
- Implementing e-CF into ICT SMEs
During the period April - December 2003 the CEN Workshop on ICT Skills and Curricula, proposed by Cedefop, Cepis and the ICT industry, represented by the Career Space consortium, has validated in an open consensus process the ICT profiles and ICT Curriculum development guidelines, published by Career Space and Cedefop in 2001 and 2002.
As a result CWA 14925 and CWA 15005 have been published.
During the period February - November 2005, the Workshop worked towards an ICT Skills (Meta/ Reference) Framework. As a result CWA 15515 has been published.
During the period March 2007 - September 2008 the Workshop has worked on on 'A European e-Competence Framework'.
More information is available on the web site of the project.
The resulting CWA 15893 (part 1 and 2) has been published by CEN in November 2008.
Following work during 2008 and 2009, the Workshop approved two more CWAs:
- CWA on developing a practical tool to access eCareer Services
- CWA on ICT Certification in Europe
The various CWAs produced by this Workshop can be downloaded here.
