  In today’s society everyone needs to have a wide set of skills, knowledge and competences, including a sufficient level of digital competence, in order to play an active part in society, to access and progress in the labor market, and to engage in further education and training in a lifelong learning perspective.

Adults who do not possess a sufficient level of such skills face a high risk of social exclusion.
