An operational plan for core ICT backbone and services is in place Key Digital Competences of VET Trainers In 2015, the Joint Research Centre and the working groups of the European Commission, namely the Digital and Online Learning (DOL) and Digital Skills and Competence (DSC) groups, developed the DigCompOrg Framework as part of the ET 2020 strategy. Based on existing national and international frameworks, DigCompOrg provides a comprehensive and generic reference framework that reflects key aspects of the process of systematically integrating digital learning into educational organizations (European Training Foundation, 2018). As described in the previous subsection, DigCompOrg is composed of elements, sub-elements and the respective descriptors which can be described and divided into 'organisational responsibilities' (e.g., Leadership & Governance Practices) or 'individual responsibilities' (e.g., Teaching and Learning practices). Therefore, this framework proves that, for an educational organization to be digitally competent, it is necessary to have a full balance between strong leadership and governance, and competent staff and educational stakeholders capable of taking personal responsibility (Kampylis, Punie, & Devine, 2015) . The DigCompOrg is not intended to address administrative and management information systems, but to focus on the teaching, learning, assessment and other learning support activities carried out by educational organizations. In this sense, how this Framework helps us identify the knowledge, key digital skills & competences necessary for the digital transformation of the VET sector? 1. Encouraging self-reflection and self- assessment within educational organizations as they progressively deepen their engagement with digital learning and pedagogies 2. Enabling policy makers to design, implement and appraise programs, projects and policy interventions for the integration of digital learning technologies in Education & Training systems
