The courses were developed in the DevOps Competences for Smart Cities (Smart-DevOps) project that addresses the shortage of digital and transferrable skills in the municipalities’ smart cities sector and supports this sector’s employees in their professional development. The project benefits smart cities and municipalities which aim to adopt the DevOps culture, principles, and practices by introducing DevOps professional profiles.
The desk and field research done in Cyprus, Germany, Greece and Italy, has identified the most competitive and high valued skills and competences, 42 in total, for Smart City Professionals. Based on the research, the project consortium developed the three Smart Cities job profiles above and the most suitable courses for each profile.
For each profile, a specialised curriculum was developed to provide individuals with the required set of skills and competences and to address the identified needs of the Smart City and municipal administrations.
