The Digital way to Employment
“The Digital way to Employment” project aims at empowering women by providing them with an innovative learning journey that fosters their transition into digital occupations. The project addresses women at risk of exclusion from the labour market, including unemployed, or those coming (or willing to come) back to work after a gap in their careers, with the aim to contribute to the relevance of their understanding and attitudes to digital career, and thus to increase women’s participation in high-wage, high-skill fields, their inclusion, employability and economic security.
Aims:
The project enables the identification of meaningful women in digital with the aim they to be used as role models and inspirational examples for others to move forward on digital occupations. It provides guidelines for changing the attitudes towards employment and learning through effective methods for high-quality career guidance based on digital storytelling, couching and facilitation, support and inclusion actions. The project will deliver an innovative hands-on learning journey with the objective to help women to explore the essentials of digital careers, and to build mentors’ and adult education providers’ capacity in motivating, training, advising and supporting women to take successful steps into digital job-related employment. It will also support the planned approaches of the participating organisations regarding digital transformation, strengthening teams’ capacity for effectively mentoring and facilitate training on the topic to women.
