Published JRC / Ikanos workshop report on digital competence for employability

Just published JRC / Ikanos workshop report on digital competence for employability.

This report aims to provide some light to the question of which policy options could, in a practical and effective way, encourage and support labour market intermediaries in their digital skilling actions, with the use of DigComp.

The report has been prepared through a collaborative work between the European Commission Joint Research Centre, the Basque Government and a set of experts, on behalf of, and in collaboration with Directorate General of Employment, Social affairs and Inclusion.

Index of Readiness for Digital Lifelong Learning

Index of Readiness for Digital Lifelong Learning

The Centre for European Policy Studies, in partnership with Grow with Google, has just released the study “Index of Readiness for Digital Lifelong Learning – Changing How Europeans Upgrade Their Skills”

CEPS is an independent policy research institute in Brussels. Its mission is to produce sound policy research leading to constructive solutions to the challenges facing Europe. The Index of Readiness for Digital Lifelong Learning (IRDLL) is the result of a collaboration between CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies) and Grow with Google.

This project was financed by Google, which provided initial app data and assistance in presenting the index results in an attractive and intelligible way. The research was conducted ndependently by CEPS researchers and national experts selected by CEPS. CEPS bears full responsibility for the project methodology and results.

The IRDLL study states that It has become evident that digital learning encompasses how digital technologies are integrated in teaching and learning approaches, within an organisational and institutional context, considering also users’ ability to make the best use of such technologies and embrace change.

Digital learning loosens the boundaries of formal and informal learning and creates a continuum of learning opportunities. It changes where and when one learns – eliminating or at least reducing barriers to accessibility by creating virtual spaces and the possibility to learn at any time. It increases the potential actors from and with whom one learns.

INDEX OF READINESS FOR DIGITAL LIFELONG LEARNING: CHANGING HOW EUROPEANS UPGRADE THEIR SKILLS

Digital learning changes knowledge production, assimilation, and ultimately how one learns. Through enhanced connections, learners can tackle any topic in a much more multidisciplinary manner, more easily synthesising one discipline’s approach to that of another. Connections facilitate continuous learning in interaction with peers and stimulate on demand and micro-learning of specific skills, competences and topics that learners choose more easily and more independently.

Lastly, digital learning changes how to show what one learns. Formal and non-formal institutions can issue digital certificates to validate competences that result from education and training, either online or in-person. Being digitally available, these certificates are more easily shareable and verifiable.

Moreover, digital technologies offer a new means of validation for informal learning. If approached correctly, digital learning can enhance learning in three main dimensions, which can be summarised by explaining how digitalisation can deliver more, cheaper, and better learning.

ikanos en la jornada anual Araba 4.0 “La industria 4.0 a tu alcance”

Ana Vitórica, directora de la iniciativa IKANOS, y Nuria Lopez de @RpkCoop hablan acerca de cómo cambia la gestión de Recursos Humanos con la Transformación Digital, en la jornada anual Araba 4.0 “La industria 4.0 a tu alcance” Araba 4.0 celebrada el 15 de noviembre de 2019 en el Palacio de Congresos Europa.

Al hablar de Industria 4.0 se suele poner el foco en las distintas tecnologías, pero el talento es un factor igual de importante. Formar a trabajadores capaces de crear, implantar y gestionar todo tipo de nuevas tecnologías es vital para el territorio y las empresas.

Join Digcomp Community of Practice (CoP) to create Open Knowledge

On October 11th, in the in All Digital Summit in Bologna, Ana Vitorica presented the new Comunity of Practice for developing Digital Competences for Employability.

In her message, Ana explained that a group of professionals, working for different European stakeholders (Enterprises, Universities, Governments, Social Organizations) met in June in Bilbao (Basque Country) to attend the EU Joint Research Center workshop “Developing digital competences for employability” and prepared a “Call to Joint Action” to foster the development of the Digital Competences.

The objective of this call is to boost the development of the digital competences in every sector, as a necessary way to achieve the Digital Transformation in Europe.

This initiative proposes ten specific and practical actions that can support the implementation of DigComp for employability. One of them is to create a Community of Practice for Digcomp framework development.

ALL Digital has kindly offered its virtual space for the interaction of this Community of Practice, which we really appreciate from ikanos.

We would like to invite you to participate sending an email to digcomp@all-digital.org (please, write DigComp CoP on the subject line).

Can the new advanced digital skills be certified? Why not?

Can the new advanced digital skills be certified? Why not?

Ikanos discusses its BAIT certification proposal with international experts on 10 and 11 October in Bologna

The new digital solutions that are constantly emerging provide opportunities to improve competitiveness, transform economic activity and impact the type of tasks that people have to perform and the way in which they perform them.

At the same time, the rapidity with which the world of work develops forces the need for training, through lifelong learning, and the incorporation of learning modalities that are not always formal.

Therefore, people need to generate evidence of their capabilities after completing their learning processes in non-formal and informal formats, through prestigious endorsements that are useful to ensure their employability, achieve better opportunities or join higher quality jobs.

A very common and reputable way, which is not unique, is the obtaining of the consequent certification. This is how we understand it at Ikanos, which incorporates the BAIT certification, for endorsement and as an incentive for action.

This certification must also be constantly updated, incorporating advanced digital skills and boosting those that are connected to the professional digital profiles that Basque companies demand.
In order to debate and contribute the experience of the Basque Country, ikanos has been invited to participate in the discussion panel called “New areas of digital competence certification: new ICDL structure and Ikanos certification system” at the ALL Digital Summit 2019 held on 10 and 11 October in Bologna. Here is our presentation

We thank ALL DIGITAL for the invitation, ICDL for sharing their knowledge and the participants in the session for their suggestive reflections to improve our BAIT certification model.
