Building Digitalization in the Green Sector

ongoing

Digitalization and the reduction of the digital gap are important steps in the sustainable development of the Latin America regioin. Lifelong learning can be the key to achieve this transformation and to support the countries to improve employability and productivity. The project aims at providing VETs and training providers in Costa Rica and Honduras capacities and skills to digitalize their pedagogical approaches related to the green sector, in particular the agriculture. It will transfer the expertise of EU countries to these two countries of the Latin America region, in order to contribute to the accomplishment of their priorities. DigiBuild has a twin goal: a) The capacity building of VETs and training providers to digital transition with a specific focus on the green sector and, b) to empower professionals in the green sector, especially women, to act as mentors in this transition. DigiBuild will increase the capacities of VET staff, teachers and trainers toward digitalization, and it will reinforce the link between VETs and the labor market as well as the national and regional priorities. It will enhance the attractiveness of the lifelong learning and it will create synergies between VETS, trainers, professionals in the green sector and public stakeholders. Last but not least, it will raise awareness on the twin transition, and it will create a bridge to women’s equal participation in the labor market.
