Utbildningsserier som stöder implementeringen av lagen om digitala tjänster hösten 2022 (på finska) (extern länk)

Digitalisaation edistämisen ohjelman lainsäädäntötyöryhmä järjesti DPL-koulutusta syyskuussa 2022. Tällä sivustolla julkaistaan tallenteet ja materiaalit. Koulutuksissa keskityttiin tarkentamaan digipalvelulain velvoitteita ja avaamaan seurannassa ja kyselyillä esiin nousseita ongelmakohtia digipalvelulain (DPL) toimeenpanossa. Kohderyhmänä ovat viranomaiset kuten korkeakoulut.
Kouluttajina toimivat Etelä-Suomen aluehallintoviraston saavutettavuusvalvonnan asiantuntijat sekä lainsäädäntötyöryhmän jäsenet.
