Sign the CHAISE Statement of Support

The Blockchain Skills for Europe Alliance (CHAISE) invites organisations to support the project goals and outcomes via a Statement of Support.

What is the purpose of the Statement of Support?

The current Statement of Support calls on Blockchain stakeholders from across Europe, such as IT companies, sector representatives, policy actors, social partners, standardization organisations, national qualification agencies, VET and HE institutions, trainers/mentors, and field experts to:

acknowledge the emerging occupational profiles in the Blockchain field and the defined skills and knowledge requirements, and
contribute to the advancement of the project’s objectives to reinforce education in digital competences, based on the principles of common interest, reciprocity, and complementarity.

The Blockchain Occupational Profiles defined by CHAISE

CHAISE implemented a comprehensive and novel analysis to demarcate the Blockchain sector, and define Blockchain skills requirements, supply, and mismatches. This analysis showed the emergence of three new roles (profiles) in the European Blockchain field: DESARROLLADOR BLOCKCHAIN, Arquitecto Blockchain, and BLOCKCHAIN MANAGER.

DESARROLLADOR BLOCKCHAIN

El desarrollador Blockchain codifica las aplicaciones Blockchain y se encarga de la resolución de problemas a nivel micro. El puesto de trabajo exige habilidades generales de desarrollo de software con gran énfasis en las habilidades de desarrollo de tecnología y aplicaciones Blockchain, habilidades operativas comerciales y todas las habilidades transversales futuras, particularmente el trabajo autogestionado.

The CHAISE Blockchain VET Programme

The CHAISE partnership has designed a VET curriculum to fill in the gap in the supply and quality of existing formal and non-formal training for the emerging blockchain roles. Further, the curriculum addresses the evolving labour market needs and skills requirements, resulting from the increasing adoption of blockchain use cases across all economic sectors.

The CHAISE VET curriculum comprises modules that are common to the three blockchain roles (Developer, Architect and Manager) in the first year of education, and specialisation learning pathways for each of them after the second year of education. The programme has a 5-semester duration and corresponds to EQF 5.
