Abstract:

Despite the fact that the education of adults is in many cases conceived as a basic education focused mostly on social and personal fulfilment, adults have a great potential for employability if they receive an adequate training matching the needs of companies. This is especially true for adults between the ages of 18 and 30 who neither study nor work. In the new production models generated in recent years, the innovation and technology sector stands out in a striking way, since it became in 2018 one of the sectors with the greatest capabilities for growth and hiring. This sector has a wide variability of jobs with very diverse profiles (from researchers to staff without degrees) and it can be a great opportunity for our beneficiary group, not only for the real possibilities of employability, but also for offering a striking and motivating objective for them. But in order to access these jobs, it is essential that they develop some specific skills. FROM LITERACY TO DIGITAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRAINING has been developed within the framework of the Erasmus + project. It aims at structuring the learning of these adults through a complete itinerary adapted to employability in the technology sector. The contents of the course is built through specific itineraries of improvement, identification, and monitoring of capabilities, with a learning offer adapted to the individual needs of the student. Its methodology focus on the development of technological skills, such as scientific thinking, critical analysis, and digital skills using a microlearning structure. The main result of this project is a virtual training course with three educational levels, structured and approved by lifelong learning centres in Europe, and certified through the digital badge DIGITAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRAINING DIPLOMA, which is compatible with the curriculum of adult education LITERACY FOR DIGITAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL TRAINING.

In this communication we will present the methodology for the personalization of the course for each student and examples of the exercises that are proposed to reach the training objectives
