Description:
The project has the general objective of improve AI literacy and digital skills among low-skilled adults, easing their transition to remote and hybrid work environments.
The New Reality of Work: Why Re-Al is Essential
The job market is rapidly evolving towards remote and hybrid models; Today, il 75% of employees in Europe prefer this flexibility.
Despite this request, millions of low-skilled adults risk exclusion due to a lack of digital skills and AI literacy. This project is fully aligned with the priorities of the European Union, in particular the “Digital Education Action Plan 2021-2027”
Our Challenge: Making AI Accessible
The lack of basic digital skills hinders the employability and career progression of these adults.
AI is not just technology, but a new productivity tool. The project is motivated to address this gap to prevent adults from being cut off from these opportunities.
The focus is on the adaptation of VET (Professional education and training) to the new needs of the labor market.
The Objective “Re-Al”: Bridging the Gap
Main Objective: Improving AI literacy and digital skills among low-skilled adults, easing their transition to remote and hybrid work environments
How to do it:
