From my own experience, you never know when your knowledge of coding will be useful, but you know it will one day. The earlier we familiarise ourselves with it, the better (no need to go over board though).

Meanwhile, traditional jobs also increasingly require digital skills. Reasoning skills such as problem-solving are now used in combination with ICT skills. These skills are essential for the process of job searching and to collect useful information about training, education and job vacancies. Once you have got basic digital skills such as creating and adapting folders, printing or changing a password, don’t stop, move forward. These are some of the main skills in demand worldwide Learn more: - https://gustmees.wordpress.com/2014/08/24/coding-a-new-trend-in-education-and-a-big-responsibility/ - https://gustmees.wordpress.com/2015/05/26/what-are-the-skills-needed-from-students-in-the-future/ - http://www.scoop.it/t/21st-century-learning-and-teaching/?tag=eSkills+For+jobs+2015

14/07/2015 European Schoolnet and Cisco release the first ever report exploring the context, duties, challenges and training needs of ICT Administrators in schools. This report is intended to raise awareness of the challenges and needs of this community of school IT Administrators, and to initiate a dialogue amongst public and private sector organizations to find solutions. Across Europe, and for many years now, governments, significant investments in ICT connectivity, equipment and services in order to make digital age teaching and learning a reality for young people, and to equip them with the competences needed to thrive in the 21st century. The people in schools who are responsible for maintaining and upgrading the technological infrastructure occupy an increasingly vital role in ensuring that this investment pays dividends, and deserve support to fulfill this mission. An IT Administrator – in some countries known as the network manager, systems coordinator or IT manager – is the person in the school who oversees the technical development and implementation of IT, for example administering the network, managing devices in the school, addressing security issues and providing technical support to teachers. It is distinct from the ICT coordinator or e-learning manager who has a more pedagogical role. That is why European Schoolnet has worked in partnership with Cisco- with its experience in the Cisco Networking Academy Program - to explore the context, duties, challenges and training needs of IT Administrators in schools.

HOW CAN POLICY-MAKERS SUPPORT TEACHERS IN DEVELOPING THEIR TECHNOLOGY- ENHANCED TEACHING COMPETENCE?
Two-thirds of teachers in the European Union learn about ICT in their own time, and almost all are positive about the impact of ICT on students, according to the Survey in schools: ICT and education (2013). However, despite this readiness, many teachers in Europe still have a lack of competence in using ICT in their teaching and use it only to a small extent in their classrooms.
