In order to ensure the implementation of the qualification modules at a high level, a seminar for the future users and dissemination events (product IO3) were held, a learning guide (product IO2) with a toolkit (product IO2) for implementation was developed and tested. A separate set of materials on MINT experimenting for children to get acquainted with science (children module) is offered. Networking: While piloting provider networks were established and international collaboration encouraged for ongoing program optimization and reusability of the products.
The evolving job market and society have undergone significant transformations, characterized by increasing digitization, which demand heightened levels of digital skills and overall flexibility from potential employees. The project focused on the mothers, who were tightened with childcare responsibilities, and had migrant backgrounds. They face the risk of being doubly marginalized in the realm of digital competencies and the pandemic has intensified the urgency for relevant skillsets, diminishing their future job prospects. Our initiative of 6 partner organizations addressed both everyday digital literacy and job-specific competencies through tailored training products, empowering these women and future multipliers. The needs we addressed: 1) digital literacy to navigate aspects of modern life effectively: accessing information, communicating, and managing daily affairs. 2) job market relevance. 3) empowerment and integration to actively engage in the workforce, contribute to their communities, and foster social cohesion. 4) gender disparities focusing on women with children, particularly those from migrant backgrounds, who face unique challenges in balancing childcare responsibilities with professional development opportunities
