Summary/Abstract: The digital transformation, bringing new challenges for education and jobs, would require learning new skills and to strengthen the ability of people to adapt to challenges in new occupations that emerge in labour markets. Universities are undergoing a digital transformation that affects the teaching, learning, research activities and upskilling of university educators. The paper aims to point out why the educational and digital competencies of university educators need to be developed and operational. The framework of professional activities of university educators would require the strengthening of digital competences. Currently, the integration of digital skills and literacy into study programs is becoming a necessity for higher education. This measure requires innovative approaches and educational mastery of university educators. Therefore, upskilling and professionalization of university teachers employing a competence-based model of further education deserve special attention. The programs of relevant digital and pedagogical competences would promote the empowerment of faculty staff.
