The main objective of our DigEmploy project was to empower WoMiN by enhancing their digital literacy and employability (including promoting their entrepreneurship), enabling them to integrate effective into the labor market and society. Specifically, we aimed to: 1. Develop digital readiness, resilience and capacity among the target groups. 2. Equip educators and trainers with innovative curricula and resources tailored to the digital and social needs of WoMiN. 3. Build synergies between labor market stakeholders and vocational education to create relevant and practical training opportunities for WoMiN 4. Contribute to the EU-Wide efforts of addressing social and digital inclusion through scalable and transferable educational solutions.
We applied to this project because we saw the need to address the pressing challenges face by Women, Migrants, and young people Not in Employment Education or Training (WoMiN) in integrating into the labor market. These groups remain disproportionately excluded due to lack of digital skills, social barriers, and limited access to tailored educational resources. The COVID-19 pandemic and rapid digital transformation only further marginalized these vulnerable populations, which is why our project directly addressed WoMiN and those working to help WoMiN integrate into the labor market. It developed innovative, learner-centered tools to improve digital literacy, enhance employability, foster social inclusion and promote entrepreneurship for these target groups across Europe.
