eDigiStars Building of digital entrepreneurial capacities of the elderly through the innovative training system

Tools

eDigiStars  aims at developing, piloting and assuring sustainability of an innovative system that uniquely combines tools for multiple target groups. The system consists of 3 modules:

POWERYOU empowers the elderly to transition into digital self-employment;
CAMPUS works to adjust existing educational courses to the needs of the elderly;
LABEL provides officially recognised certificates providing the elderly with clear proof for their new competencies.

More information about each tool:

POWERYOU tool will change the mindset of elderly & employers

The tool will guide on how to passively (if elderly comes to office) or actively (series of workshops, seminars etc.) create awareness and empower elderly workforce. POWERYOU tool will be piloted while engaging 40 elderlies per territory (320 together) to prove the concept.

CAMPUS tool will adapt the courses to the needs of the elderly

It will target another key stakeholder in the ecosystem – providers of education and requalification courses. The tool will guide them how to efficiently and effectively adapt their courses to the specific need of the elderly target group. CAMPUS will be tested at one course per territory during the project lifetime.

LABEL Tool will build trust and prove elderlies‘ competences to employers

This tool targets various actors in the territorial ecosystems (Labor offices, SME associations, Chambers of commerce, Business supporting actors). It develops the quality assurance system of the elderly workforce by awarding those who meet quality criteria with eDigiStars LABEL. It also provides comprehensive guidance in the creating of awareness and building trust among employers from different industrial segments.
