<< Background >>Rapid digitalisation over the past decade has transformed many aspects of work and daily life. Driven by innovation and technological evolution, the digital transformation is reshaping society, the labour market and the future of work, and inevitably E & T. Employers face difficulties in recruiting highly skilled workers across a number of economic sectors, including in the digital sector.Boosting digital skills at all levels helps increase growth and innovation and build a fairer, more cohesive, sustainable and inclusive society. Being digitally skilled and acquiring digital literacy can empower people of all ages to be more resilient, improve participation in democratic life and stay safe and secure online. Equipping Europe’s future workers and job seekers with digital skills will be critical for economic recovery in the coming years, especially after the severe consequences of the pandemic in all fields of life.To thrive in a technology-driven economy, VET trainers, educators, job seekers, workers, but perhaps above all ‘the lockdown generation’ whose education and employment prospects have been affected due to the pandemic, will need to be digitally skilled and confident to succeed in a rapidly changing environment and adapt to new and emerging technologies. Evidence in the participating countries show that levels of digital skills are still low, albeit gradually improving, while the digital transformation is accelerating. While acknowledging that 90% of jobs in all sectors in the future will require some form of digital skills, yet 35% of Europe’s workers lack these skills, the partnership is committed to contribute to the upskilling and re-skilling as digital skills in demand will range from basic to advanced, including AI, data literacy, supercomputing and cybersecurity.<< Objectives >>Main aim:The proposal aims (1) to promote the introduction and acquisition of high digital skills including AI and Unity Game Development in VET schools thus responding to the needs of the labour market and (2) to empower young people with digital literacy to enhance their resistance to excessive online use such as addictive gambling habits through the demonstration of how an AI model can predict lucky games.Other aims:•To upgrade the attractiveness of VET with targeted to the needs of the labour market curricula thus responding to the demands of the digital transformation•To promote social innovation and change for a sustainable future through the digital upskilling of the younger generation•To empower YP with targeted digital competences, skills and knowledge in order to acquire an overall understanding of gambling and harden their resistance to gambling addiction.•To introduce the fundamental knowledge of Artificial Intelligence both for VET trainers and young people•To develop a new set of AI learning and teaching resources as well as Unity Game Development, that will enhance the schools’ collection•To provide young people with high quality opportunities to acquire digital skills using the Unity Engine for educational purposes and to boost their creativity, innovative, problem solving, teamwork, leadership and empathy skills•To develop a professional development training for trainers in order to upgrade their profiles•To empower young people to prevent and/or deal with gambling addiction and excessive online screen usage.•To promote awareness raising for the dangers of gambling addiction through the acquisition of digital literacy skills<< Implementation >>Activities:The consortium plans the following activities:-Five transnational project meetings-One Blended Mobility for VET learners accompanied with their VET trainers-Four Project Results -Six Multiplier Events<< Results >>The results include the following:-National State of the Art Report for the AI-driven digital transformation -Peer review among partners-Educational Pack with a new AI Curriculum for secondary schools, set of new digital material, collection of case studies for exploration, collection of resources, -An interactive platform in the form of an academy-Pilot-testing of the SmartAInnovators programme-Dissemination Plan-Quality and Evaluation Plan
