NEXT
Digital Transformations for
Supporting Next-Generation Labour
ERASMUS-EDU-2023-CBHE-STRAND-2, ID: 101129022
Anotation
The goal of the proposed project is to
narrow the existing gap between the rapid pace of digital transformation,
and the training of specialists from different fields, especially those
that are not related to IT. At present the specialists are not sufficiently
skilled to efficiently work with digital technologies and tools, and to
understand possible pitfalls in their use, including mental health issues
and legal matters.
Among the objectives of the NEXT project
are the following: 1) introducing informal extracurricular education on
digital skills, soft skills, mental health, and digitalization's legal
aspects to students; 2) training academic staff of HEIs in order to
support learners with qualified coaches who can assist them in their
informal studies; 3) developing innovative learning resources in line
with the newest trends in digital technologies; 4) enhancing students’
teamwork and digital skills through student projects contest; 5)
establishing advanced laboratories in Ukrainian universities for Metaverse-like
communications.
To meet the above-mentioned objectives,
within the NEXT project a range of different activities will be carried
out, project meetings, training for coaches, student projects contest,
students’ conference.
To the outputs of the proposed project
belong: the NEXT-Study learning environment, which will contribute to
creating a common repository of various learning resources, which any
student can use to enhance knowledge in a specific field; learning
resources, which will cover different topics on digital skills and
digital literacy; the NEXT-Collaboration virtual platform, to improve
communication skills in a virtual workspace; and the NEXT-Network to
ensure the sustainability of the project results implementation.
Thus, the proposed project will
significantly contribute to the process of the alignment of future
specialists’ digital and soft skills with the modern-day requirements of
the ‘digital’ labour market in Ukraine.
