Does a nurse know how to handle his patient’s electronic record? And can a farmer combine sensor data from different systems to choose an optimal approach? The demand for digital competencies is increasing in almost all professions. Our task is to have students enter the professional field prepared and digitally competent, allowing them to continue developing.
That’s what the Digital Competence Indicator is for: a tool to pay attention to the integration of digital competencies in competence profiles – in both training profiles in education and job profiles in the professional field. Developed by the Strengthening digital human capital zone.

With the Digital Competence Indicator:
Digital competences have never been more important. The demand for digital competences in almost all professions is increasing, regardless of the sector. Time for higher education and the professional field to join forces and integrate digital competences into education.
The European Union also stresses the importance of digital competences. The scientific bureau of the European Union examined what the knowledge economy and globalisation means for its citizens and concluded that citizens will need lifelong development in eight key areas. One of those core areas is digital competences. The EU’s Digital Competence Framework for Citizens is a tool for understanding and developing digital competences. The Digital Competence Indicator has the digital competences of this framework as its basis. Here you can see which digital competences they are. Want more explanation on this? Start the tool!
Below are two examples of why digital competences are important in the professional field. Want (even more) sector-related or bachelor and master examples of digital competences? It’s all integrated in the Digital Competence Indicator.
Example 1 Nurse
This is Floor. Floor is a nurse. She also needs digital competences for her profession. She processes patients’ statuses in the electronic patient record (EHR). She understands how that digital information is structured and what information to add. She also knows its value, for herself and for her colleagues in the health care system. She learned this during her training and now applies it in her work.
Example 2 Lecturer
This is Sam. Sam is an English lecturer. While studying at university, he learned what role digital competencies play in learning and keeping up with a foreign language. Now he uses his digital competencies to teach his students the same. For instance, he teaches them English via apps – like songs via Spotify. Contemporary and refreshing for the students.
