Intellectual Output 1: Development of digital skills building framework through social media for low-skilled/low-qualified unemployed persons over 45 –
The present report is developed in the context of the first intellectual output of the project “MedLit45+”, named “Development of digital skills building framework through social media for low-skilled/low-qualified unemployed persons over 45”. The main aim of the project is to assist low-skilled/low-qualified unemployed persons over 45 years old to return to the labour market by developing and enhancing their digital competence. The outcome of this study will be the development of the digital skills framework on which the creation of an online resource platform will be based and render the basic tangible outcome of this project, together with the manual for professional that will also support unemployed persons.
The main aspiration of this study is to contribute to the overall European process to increase the digital competence of citizens and more specifically of those who are unemployed or had fewer opportunities to keep up with the technological advances. As the digitalization process is under implementation in all European societies, people with a lower level of digital skills are more likely to be excluded from the labour market and they generally have fewer opportunities to participate equally in the digital society. Initiatives like this of the project MedLit45+ will contribute significantly in the effort to create an open, inclusive and equal European society.
