From April 17th to May 7th, 2023, ALL DIGITAL Weeks 2023 will take place over a span of three weeks. The campaign has gained the support of the European Commission, and will involve partners from both international and national levels, as well as participating organizations throughout Europe. The campaign’s primary focus is to promote the European Year of Skills, which has been endorsed by the European Commission. Its actions will revolve around the motto “Enhance your digital skills,” which encourages all European citizens to acquire new skills, whether basic or advanced, to confidently face digital transformation.

The ALL DIGITAL Weeks 2023 campaign aims to showcase the importance of providing digital tools and skills to all European citizens, regardless of their background or status. It plans to achieve this by organizing online and offline events and training sessions, supporting all population groups in their digital transformation journeys.

The campaign will also aid in implementing specific actions of the Digital Education Action Plan 2021-27, which aims to enhance digital skills and competencies for the digital transformation.

Skillify: an Inclusive Tool to bridge the Digital Divide!

At The Digital Collective (Digico) , we firmly believe that technology has the power to bridge the ever-widening digital divide in our society. To achieve this, we are committed to nurturing enabling solutions that prioritize the empowerment of the most vulnerable among us. It is with this vision that we introduce Skillify – an inclusive tool to bridge the digital divide!

What does Skillify do?

Skillify is an assessment tool built upon the European Digital Competence Framework (DigComp Sat) to help learners understand their level of digital skills. Through a personal dashboard, Skillify offers a visual overview of users’ strengths and areas of improvement, giving a live snapshot of their digital skills.

Adaptive, Inclusive, and Accessible

Skillify has been meticulously designed to make the user experience as intuitive and accessible as possible. To do so, 2 animated tutorials are available at the beginning and at the end of the test, to ensure that users fully understand how the platform works. The language of the questions has been simplified to adapt the platform to users with lower levels of literacy. Moreover, Skillify language and design is inclusive and motivational, to ensure that low skilled users feel encouraged to continue their learning.

Skillify has also been through an accessibility review run together with an accessibility expert, who certified that our platform aligns with WCAG 2.0 Accessibility Standards.

Skillify is available in 7 languages (English, French, German, Danish, Czech, Arabic and Ukrainian) making it accessible to a wider audience. Additional languages can be added upon request.

Personalized Training Recommendations

Skillify offers personalized training recommendations based on users’ assessed skills. Depending on their digital proficiency level, users are directed towards a curated selection of training resources aimed at enhancing their digital skills continuously.

Job Suggestions

Merged with Skillify, partners will get an AI-integrated job recommendations system that matches users’ digital skills results with open local job opportunities. The engine scrapes local job portals, and partners have the flexibility to select the sources from which job listings are gathered.
