Abstract
In this paper, we plead for the development of a reference framework for ICT for manufacturing skills. The existing e-skills frameworks are either too general or too restrictive. That is why there is a need for a reference framework for ICT skills in manufacturing to be used as a common reference by all Industrial Learning stakeholders when dealing with issues related to ICT skills in manufacturing. The framework should be capable to capture most of state-of-the-art e-skills relevant to manufacturing in addition to the skills related to emerging ICT for manufacturing. Such a framework would encourage manufacturing workers to take training on specific ICT skills. The motivation for pleading for a reference framework for ICT for manufacturing skills and the requirements related to its development are presented in this paper.
