Compass is a 2-year pilot project co-financed by the European Commission, running in France, Ireland, Italy and Romania. The project’s aim is to build an online platform for learning and evaluating digital competence. The digitalisation of the economy has made these digital skills a key requirement for many positions and future jobs will require a progressively higher level of competence.

The target audience will be young, unemployed people (15-30 year-olds) and interested stakeholders from the labour market and the educational sector.

The goal of the project is to create a free, innovative, problem based learning platform to bridge the gap between the requirements of Employers and the insufficient digital skills of Young Unemployed in order to increase their employability.

The beta version of the platform will be live in early 2018.

 

What is digital competence?


Digital competence involves the confident and critical use of Information Society Technology (IST) for work, leisure, learning and communication. It is underpinned by basic skills in ICT: the use of computers to retrieve, access, store, produce, present and exchange information and to communicate and participate in collaborative networks via the Internet.

    Education and socio-professional integration
    Education and socio-professional integration are central sustainable development issues and contribute to achieving all the Sustainable Development Goals. The transformative power of education, as set out in the Incheon Declaration and Education 2030 Framework for Action, provides self-fulfilment, promotes stability and security, as well as opportunities for full employment and access to decent work in order to fight poverty.
