Conecta Empleo – Orientation and training for the digital transition


Description

Conecta Empleo is a multicountry and free initiative aimed at improving citizens’ digital employability. In a constantly evolving labour market driven by multiple transitions, it is key to understand trends and constantly upskill and reskill to profit from the opportunities driven by the digital transition.
Conecta Empleo offers digital tools that allow to gain a better understanding of the labor market, the most in-demand digital professions and the skills required for each of them. Using AI and Big Data, Conecta Empleo offers real time information of digital labor demands, from a regional, country or local perspective (Map of Employment). This turns to be a first level of orientation which can be even more personalized by using the Virtual Professional Advisor. Additionally, Conecta Empleo offers training on different digital and soft skills required by the labour market. The training offer adapts to different profiles, ranging from digital literacy to digital empowerment. Some of the learning journeys have been specially designed and adapted for specific productive sectors, such as construction, transportation and horto-fruticole.
Conecta Empleo relies on public and private partnerships to gain scale, both to enrichen the information displayed by the tools and also to reach final users. So far, there are more than 200 active partnerships in Spain and Latin America (Ministries, Academia, multilarerals, NGOs among others).
