Digital Skills for Work: Training 12000 Citizens Across Emilia-Romagna Region

February 2025

In February 2025, the training institution CEFAL (associated with the OPEN Consortium) launched a project called Digital Skills for Work in the Emilia Romagna Region. The project is part of the GOL (Workers' Employment Guarantee) Program, funded by European funds (Next Generation EU), which aims to facilitate the reintegration of a large number of people into the labor market.

The Digital Skills for Work in the Emilia Romagna Region project will train thousands of people in the region (approximately 12000 citizens) in various areas related to Digcomp 2.2.

Each course will last 20 hours and will be divided into five modules, each lasting four hours.

At the end of the course, participants will receive a certificate (Open Badge) certifying the skills they have acquired.
