New technologies and digital innovations are gradually reshaping many sectors. We can see how blockchain technology in particular has been proliferating into different industries and functional roles over the last few years, causing a significant impact on the current job market. The main mission of CHAISE as a Sector Skills Alliance is to tackle blockchain skills shortages and to develop a strategic approach to blockchain skills development in Europe.
The project is also committed to delivering future-proof training solutions to respond to the current and future skill needs of the European blockchain workforce. If the EU is to play a leading role in the blockchain sector globally, an efficient and effective Skill Strategy must be developed. In such a strategy, public education should be complemented by private training providers and VET programmes, should be flexible, client-oriented, customised, business and community-connected, etc.
The main aim of this report is to propose a Skill Strategy that would meet the needs of the 21st century. It addresses what to teach (which skills), to whom (identifying the stakeholders), and how (strategies and action plans).
