DIGITALIZATION, EMPLOYMENT, UPDATE

Digi-Breaker+ project

In an era where the convergence of digitalization and environmental sustainability is pivotal, the recent Digibreaker meeting marked a significant milestone. The event showcased the delivery of two crucial intellectual outputs, signifying a turning point in the project’s trajectory. The DIGI-BREAKER PLUS (DB+) initiative is more than a mere collaboration; it’s a forward-thinking partnership aimed at breaking barriers and fostering a community conducive to the effective, sustainable, and inclusive digitalization of adult guidance services.

At the heart of DB+ lies a vision inspired by the European Pillar of Social Rights and the European Climate Pact. With the firm belief that everyone has the right to timely and tailored assistance for better employment prospects, and recognizing the imperative role of ‘green skills’ in fostering climate action, DB+ aligns itself with the recommendations of the 2021 Porto Declaration. It places ‘education and skills’ as a core focus, extending support to adult learners and their communities, transforming challenges into opportunities for human capital development within the context of green and digital transitions.

The first intellectual output unveiled at the meeting was the DB+ Good Practice Book. This comprehensive resource encapsulates invaluable insights into three pivotal areas: the application of digital tools in career guidance, integrating green good practices into career guidance, and fostering community development activities to support inclusion. With a reservoir of information and advice, this book stands as an inspiration for career guidance practitioners and adults seeking new employment avenues, urging them to seamlessly integrate digital technologies into their daily practices.

The second output, the DB+ MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), represents a significant leap forward in empowering adult users to navigate the modern job landscape. This 3-hour course is meticulously designed with a strong emphasis on green skills, empowering users to incorporate sustainability into every stage of their job search. Divided into three modules – Self-Awareness, Self-Organization, and Community Development – each module is comprised of four lessons, each running for 15 minutes. These lessons serve as guiding pillars, providing users with the essential knowledge to identify opportunities aligned with the principles of the green transition.

The DB+ meeting not only unveiled these pivotal outputs but also heralded a new era for career guidance and community development. Through the amalgamation of digital tools and green practices, the project seeks to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving job market. The outputs, a testament to the project’s commitment, are poised to revolutionize the approach to job searches, fostering a community geared towards sustainability and inclusivity.

As DB+ continues to pave the way for a future where digitalization and green practices are seamlessly integrated, the impact of the recent meeting and its outputs is undeniably a catalyst for change. The tools, resources, and insights unveiled are set to empower individuals, not just in their job searches but in their broader understanding of how to shape a more sustainable and inclusive future.
