Description
The main goal of DIAMOND is to guide individuals from vulnerable socio-economic backgrounds on their pathway to employment, by tailoring learning programmes to individual needs, and bolstering employability. This is achieved by developing two unique solutions: 1) the Employability Growth Index (EGROW Index) - a comprehensive taxonomy of individuals employability growth, including their empowerment and transformative (digital & green) capabilities (objective 1). The EGROW Index will act as a measurement tool for classification and segmentation of user groups regarding the content and format of learning programmes. 2) the Modular and Versatile Platform for Engagement and Employability (MOVE) – a digital platform for lifelong learning with personcentered micro-credentials and learning formats (objective 2). On MOVE individuals can grow their employability based on EGROW and skill forecasts by participating in concise skill programmes recommended by an AI-supported system. To benchmark the impact breadth of the EGROW Index and MOVE, econometric cost-benefit analyses and a stochastic life-cycle model are applied (objective 3). The objectives are enabled by a vibrant research and innovation environment – the Grassroot Living Lab. State-of the art social innovation experiments, iterative research and stakeholder integrated co-creation will validate the DIAMOND solutions. DIAMOND targets directly the main impact goals associated with the call. The EGROW Index will help individuals to assess their employability growth and to empower them to self-manage their skill development on MOVE. The increased engagement due to tailored learning programmes will facilitate an increased labour market participation. The economic analyses and model provide an improved understanding of macro-economic effects. DIAMOND contributes to inclusive growth, reduced vulnerabilities and strengthened economic resilience due to its person-centered and data/technology driven grassroot approach.
