This document discusses Estonia's competitiveness and export potential for IT professionals through EUCIP (European Certification of Informatics Professionals) certification. It outlines the EUCIP framework which provides an international standard for defining, describing, and measuring IT competencies. The framework includes a core level and professional level, with 21 defined professional profiles.
