"According to the European Skills, Qualifications and Occupations (ESCO), there are a series of group works considered as ""Elementary Occupations"" (EO) (ISCO-88 and ISCO-89: sales/service elementary occupation, agricultural, fishery, mining, construction, manufacturing and transport, cleaners, helpers, street/related sales, services workers…). While EO's relevant areas of work are increasing its demand, with a growth of 8% in 10 years that is expected to continue, most of EU countries is reporting a surplus of workers in EO. It is expected that between 2015 and 2025 around 11.8 million EO job openings will appear on the EU, especially due to retirement (CEDEFOP, 2018). However, most of EO workers hold low or medium level qualifications; one of the main issues in EO is the increasing impact of certain skills in the future of the occupations. The project consortium has studied the context of elementary occupation workers and the needs from that labour sector, reaching the conclusion of the need to provide learning on digital literacy in companies, allowing their workers to improve the employability and give them the opportunity not only to become competitive in their concrete labour market but also access new, higher job positions.DIGITAL GURU intends to provide SMEs, employers and HR managers with innovative methods for an effective workplace learning management. The main objectives of DIGITAL GURU are:- Improve the conditions of effective workplace learning, including voluntary engagement, extensive contact, study time, and sustained formal and informal opportunities for acquiring and improving skills- Improve digital and literacy skills of low qualified adults- Extend the supply of high quality learning opportunities tailored to the needs of low-qualified adults to enhance their literacy and digital competences- Progress towards higher qualifications- Attract adults who would not participate in other forms of learning- Improve job satisfaction on low-qualified positions- Reach people who are not normally involved in continuous education or training- Promote Education and Culture in Lifelong Learning to raise shared values, especially at the European Year of Culture HeritageThe main target of the project will be SMEs, employers and HR Managers who usually deal with Elementary Occupation workers and offer them training. This main target will receive training on how to provide digital skills to the secondary target, which are low qualified adults working on EO (according to ISCO division).All major expected results are listed & detailed in the Intellectual Output and Training activities of the DIGITAL GURU project and are part of:O1. DIGITAL GURU Methodological toolkit for employers/HR managers on how to foster encouragement and motivation for professional and personal development, by using on-the-job activities with low-qualified adults.O2.
