Digital employability

FCT is part of the Portuguese Coalition for Digital Employability (CPED), as an entity linked to Advanced Training and Research. CPED is Portugal's response to the challenge launched by the European Commission. Coordinated by .PT, it brings together stakeholders from all parts of society and currently has around 80 members from a diverse network of public and private entities.

Ponto Digital - Digital Skills and Jobs, launched in October 2022, is a platform that aggregates initiatives in the digital area. It centralizes information on good practices, studies, resources, events, news, training activities, job offers, Calls and much more, facilitating citizens' access to digital training opportunities.

With the aim of digitally empowering all Portuguese people, Ponto Digital offers tools for self-assessment of digital skills, allowing users to identify their level of competence and, based on this, find suitable training. It also supports companies in assessing their digital maturity, offering tools to increase their competitiveness.
