This is an interministerial initiative that brings together the government departments of Administrative Modernization, Science, Technology and Higher Education, Education, Labor, Planning and Infrastructure, and Economy. It aims to strengthen the basic skills of the Portuguese population in Information and Communication Technologies, preparing them for emerging digital-based employment opportunities.
