FROM LITERACY TO DIGITAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRAINING: INNOVATIVE AND CUSTOMIZABLE TRAINING ITINERARY TO FACILITATE EMPLOYABILITY AND INCLUSION OF ADULT PERSONS

Description

"Although the education of adults is in many cases conceived as a basic education, mainly focused on social and personal fulfillment, adult people have a great potential for employability if they receive an adequate training, engaged with the needs of companies. This is especially true for adults between 18 and 30 years old that neither study nor work (NEET).These young adults have a basic literacy because they only completed basic studies (or almost did so), and have not been able to access the labor market, in some occasions because they lack the motivation for it. Being aware of this reality, the European Union has tried to guide the objectives of adult and lifelong education towards the acquisition of key qualifications for the labor market for adults of this age spectrum as a useful mechanism when looking for new productive models.Among these new productive models, the innovation and technology sector stands out in a striking way, since it has become one of the sectors with the greatest growth and hiring capabilities in 2018.This sector has a wide job variability of very diverse profiles (ranging from researchers to staff without qualifications) and it can be a great opportunity for our beneficiaries, not only because they have real employability possibilities, but also because it offers an appealing and motivating objective for them. But in order for these jobs to be accessible to them, it is essential that they develop some specific abilities.""FROM LITERACY TO DIGITAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRAINING: INNOVATIVE AND CUSTOMIZABLE TRAINING ITINERARY TO FACILITATE EMPLOYABILITY AND INCLUSION OF ADULT PERSONS"" is a project that seeks to structure the adult learning process through a complete itinerary adapted to employability in the technology sector, going from the most basic stages of adult education to the basic knowledge required by technology companies, through the development of digital and technological competences such as scientific thinking, critical analysis, and digital skills.To this end, 6 European entities of renown prestige in each of the work fields of this project have joined to create an intersectorial partnership, ranging from entities expert in the creation of educational materials for groups with barriers (REDTREE- Spain), in the field of adult education (GRETA DU VELAY-France, UNIVERSIDADE DO MINHO-Portugal, and NTUA-Greece), and technology-based companies that know firsthand the needs of the sector (IKASIA-Spain and NANOPAINT-Portugal).All of them will work during 24 months (through 4 transnational meetings, virtual meetings, exchange of experiences, dissemination activities and events…) to generate a high quality intellectual output consisting of a three-level virtual training course structured and homologated by European lifelong learning centers, and certified by the digital badge “DIPLOMA FOR DIGITAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRAINING”, which is compatible with the curriculum of adult education “LITERACY TO DIGITAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRAINING”.This course proposes a learning process adapted to adults, building the contents through specific itineraries of improvement, identification, and monitoring of capabilities, with a learning offer adapted to the individual needs of the student, and based on a flexible and digital learning methodology.With an initial evaluation, the student’s personal itinerary will be established, including all necessary contents and materials. The course will be structured in three levels:• INITIAL LEVEL: Basic literacy from a technological perspective.• ADVANCED LEVEL: Digital training through scientific thinking.• EXPERT LEVEL: Basic technological training for employability.With this Intellectual Output we will be able to improve and expand the offer of high quality learning opportunities adapted to the individual needs of adult students with low qualifications or lack of degrees, to improve their reading, writing, and math skills (Initial course), their digital skills (Advanced course), and that involve key skills or progress to achieve higher qualifications and employability capabilities (Expert Course).We plan this project to have a great impact on the beneficiaries, but also on adult education and lifelong learning centers throughout Europe, so they can implement this innovative methodology to improve the employment opportunities of their students, and in research centers and technology companies too, that will find future employees with specific training adapted to their needs."
