Digital competencies are essential for addressing the challenges of digital transformation and ensuring graduate employability. Higher education institutions play a crucial role in preparing students with these competencies to meet industry needs. This study introduces the Competency Outcome Results in Education (CORE) Framework, developed through a literature review, simplified facet analysis, framework construction, focus group discussions (FGDs) with 9 key experts from stakeholders, and an early classroom pilot with formative evaluation. The analysis identified 26 isolates grouped into five facets: Requirements, Standard References, Resources, Competency Outcomes, and Process/Phases. These were operationalized into a cyclical process: Commitment, Identify, Map, Design, Implement, and Evaluate. The results demonstrate that the CORE Framework provides a structured yet adaptable model integrating national standards with industry demands, supporting institutional digital competency development. © 2025 IEEE.
