The Digital Preservation Coalition has released version 2 of The DPC Competency Framework that “builds on previous work on identifying competencies for digital preservation and guidance from key models of good practice to provide a framework” that is accessible for professional development, training, and easy access. Like version 2, the original version contained 5 competency areas and 28 subsequent skill elements. The DPC Competency Audit Toolkit, a companion document to the framework, also includes a skill-level assessment and an organizational audit to help people getting started.
With the update of the competencies, the DPC has also launched the Learning Resources Portal to provide training resources. The Portal, which is searchable by keyword, skills, roles, and competencies, is also seeking contributions through its GitHub page.
