Digital transformation now plays a central role in our society: it influences how we communicate, access information and, above all, how we enter the labour market. Beyond its technological dimension, digital skills have become a key tool for social inclusion, autonomy and active participation in the community. However, for many people in vulnerable situations, this reality is still marked by barriers that hinder their full integration into employment.
This webinar explores digital skills as an essential element within pathways to inclusion and employment. Through the European INDICO project, we will examine how developing digital competencies can improve employment opportunities, reduce inequalities and create new forms of intervention better suited to people’s real needs.
Drawing on practical experience with service users as well as the analysis of results at the European level, we will reflect on current challenges, success factors and the key elements needed to transfer these initiatives to other contexts. Ultimately, our aim is to advance towards a more inclusive, innovative and connected intervention model, where digitalisation is not a barrier but a genuine opportunity for everyone.
Background
The European Commission’s goal is for 80% of 16- to 74-year-old EU citizens to have at least basic digital skills by 2030. The reference framework for digital competences (DigComp), which enables the categorisation and comparability of digital skills on eight levels, plays a key role in this strategy.
Even though this reference framework also includes basic digital skills at levels 1 and 2 and the aim of the digital strategy is “digital skills for all”, people with learning difficulties are at risk of exclusion. Often, appropriate training programmes are not accessible to them, or the people who support and accompany people with learning difficulties have low digital skills themselves.
Objectives
- To develop a clearer comprehension of the competences required by people with learning difficulties in their digital interactions.
- Adopting a competence-oriented approach for adult learning and education staff when assessing and training digital competences.
- To enhance the validation process for digital competences among persons with learning difficulties in link with the DigComp framework.
Expected Outcomes
Reports on the current situation and challenges related to the implementation of the EU DigComp strategy and the assessment and validation of basic digital competences for persons with learning difficulties in the partner countries and on pan-European level
A catalogue of relevant basic digital competences for persons with learning difficulties (DigComp levels 1 & 2);
An assessment and validation approach for basic digital competences in line with the DigComp Reference Framework, tailored to the needs of persons with learning difficulties;
A train-the-trainer manual for this competence-oriented approach;
Policy recommendations regarding the consideration of persons with learning difficulties in the DigComp strategy and framework.
