Promote Digital Literacy and Tech Skills

Digital literacy is an essential life skill which should be taught in all areas of education but teaching tech skills can be complicated in traditional online training environments. Thus, the initial aim of digitalization is to spread awareness regarding the importance and impact that digital knowledge and skills have on the society and economy, and then to help the educators to become competent in using technical equipment as well as becoming technologically literate in order to educate the learners (i.e., VET learners).

The GROOVE partners are working on a practical manual for VET providers/trainers to advance their professional practices towards digitalization. The Toolkit aims to provide knowledge and understanding of the digitalization in the Vocational Education Sector (VET), the importance of vital digital skills for the educators and learners, and how to develop of a digitalization strategy.

Digital transformation is a key priority across all major EU directives and policies. The European Commission has prioritized digital skills development and recognized education and training stakeholders as key players in making innovations mainstream to meet the education sector’s needs (EC, 2018).
