Digital technology for pathways to entrepreneurial skills

Content

Digital technology for pathways to entrepreneurial skills is particularly important for people with a distance to the labor market, such as individuals with disabilities, those with limited education or work experience, and people from underrepresented communities. These individuals often face barriers to traditional employment opportunities and may struggle to find meaningful work. However, digital technology offers a range of tools and resources that can enable them to establish their own businesses, become self-employed, or work remotely.
﻿
By providing education and training on digital technology and entrepreneurial skills, educators can help these individuals develop the knowledge and expertise they need to succeed in the digital economy. This may include training on website design, social media marketing, e-commerce platforms, and other digital tools and resources that are essential for entrepreneurship in today's world.
﻿
In addition, educators need to be aware of digital technology and its role in entrepreneurship in order to effectively teach and support their students. As the digital landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, educators need to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and best practices in digital entrepreneurship. This will enable them to provide their learners with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the digital economy and create their own pathways to success.
﻿
This learning playlist is part of of the KA2 Strategic Partnership project "Digital technology for pathways to entrepreneurial skills" supported by the European Union Erasmus+ programme. The playlist is designed for participants of the international training that is happening from 1 till 5 March 2023. All participants have a connection with Adult Education.
