🌟 Empowering Employability with the ᴱGROW Index: Introducing WP1 of the DIAMOND Project 🌟
The DIAMOND Project is on a mission to enhance employability growth with WP1, developing a human-centric Employability Growth (ᴱGROW) Index.
📌 What is the ᴱGROW Index?
The ᴱGROW Index is a human-centric framework that combines:
💎 Empowerment Capabilities 💡: Indicators like self-efficacy, learning style, and autonomy to assess growth mindsets and learning preferences.
💎 Transformative Capabilities 🌱: Focused on digital and green skills to ensure resilience in today’s evolving job market.
📌 What Happens in WP1?
1️⃣ Universitetet i Wien🇦🇹 leads the first task, identifying key empowerment and transformative dimensions through a systematic literature review for the ᴱGROW Index. This task is supported by all partners, especially Aarhus Universitet🇩🇰, Freie Universität Berlin🇩🇪, ICCRAM University of Burgos🇪🇸, and RWTH Aachen Universitet🇩🇪.
2️⃣ Aarhus Universitet🇩🇰 takes the lead in applying the ᴱGROW Index to classify learner typologies, guiding personalized re- and upskilling programs in later stages of the project. FUB, ICCRAM University of Burgos🇪🇸, RWTH Aachen Universitet🇩🇪, Universitetet i Wien🇦🇹, and Evolutionary Archetypes Consulting SL🇪🇸 support this task.
3️⃣ Later in the project, AU will lead the refinement of the ᴱGROW Index, using ML techniques and insights from WP2-WP4 to ensure inclusivity and effectiveness. CETIC🇧🇪, Fordybelse🇫🇷, and Universitetet i Wien🇦🇹 will assist in this process.
📊 What Will WP1 Deliver?
💎 A comprehensive framework to assess employability growth.
💎 Open-access guidelines for educators, policymakers, and individuals.
💎 Tailored ᴱGROW Profiles to engage vulnerable groups and optimize learning strategies.
By addressing challenges like low engagement in skill development programs, digital/green skill gaps, and inclusion, WP1 sets the foundation for equitable employment opportunities.
