The National Agency of Public Servants has entered into a partnership with ICDL Romania to improve digital skills in public administration.
Based on the collaboration agreement, the "DigiReady - The First Step Towards Recognized Digital Skills" campaign will be extended and adapted for public servants, ICDL Romania announced on Monday.
"At a time when the digitalization of public administration is a strategic priority, investments in IT infrastructure, digital platforms and online public services do not produce real transformation without the digital skills of the people who use them. Institutional modernization is not determined by technology itself, but by the ability of public servants to work competently, critically and responsibly with digital tools and, increasingly, with solutions based on artificial intelligence," ICDL Romania said in a press release.
According to the cited source, Eurostat data shows that only 28% of Romanians aged between 16 and 74 have basic digital skills, the lowest percentage in the European Union, compared to an average of 55%.
"Access to technology is not enough. The real difference is given by the ability of public servants to formulate relevant requirements for digital and AI systems, to critically evaluate automatically generated results, to understand the limits of technology and to responsibly integrate these tools into administrative workflows," ICDL Romania highlighted.
The DigiReady campaign kicks off with the ICDL DigiReady quiz, a free tool to familiarize yourself with the ICDL platform and question types. The quiz is informative and educational and represents the first step of a broader initiative, which will be extended through training programs and certification paths adapted to public administration.
"DigiReady offers public servants interested in performance and adaptation to new realities an intelligent start in the direction of digital transformation. It is a simple exercise, but with a real impact on career and administration activity, and the partnership with ANFP allows us to extend this initiative nationally and anchor it in a coherent approach to developing digital skills in the public sector," said Irinuca Vaduva, general manager of ICDL Romania.
ECDL Romania - ICDL Certification is the exclusive national representative of the ICDL Foundation, the international organization that manages the global standard for digital skills certification. In Romania, hundreds of thousands of students and professionals have obtained internationally recognized certifications through the network of accredited test centers, the statement said.
