Analysis of digital skills in the textile and clothing industry through e-learning

The importance of digital skills has drastically increased over the last decades. Also in the Textile and Clothing Industry, numerous software tools improve the efficiency of the work. To make sure that students acquire the necessary digital skills, an Erasmus+ project has been set up. The ICT-Tex project is a Knowledge Alliance aiming to improve the competences in information technology (ICT) for people working in the field of the Textile and Clothing Industry (TCI). This will be done by developing syllabuses that will be provided on an online platform, made available on the project website to all interested parties; The 12 project partners come from all over Europe and join forces by making their expertise available to the project. By the end of 2022 16 courses will be freely accessible. This paper describes the methodology used to develop the content of these courses.
