Project Description

Digitalization not only requires the acquisition of digital competencies, but also brings new working and learning models as well as innovative approaches to problem solving and decision making in companies that play a role at all management levels. DIGIGEN focuses on these challenges, but in particular on professional career counseling for women in leadership positions regarding digital competence development by HR professionals and career counselors. The project has a duration of three years and comprises five overarching work packages to achieve the project aims.

Project Core Aim

The core aim is developing, testing and evaluating a holistic and scientifically based continuing education program for HR professionals and career counselors. This includes didactic principles, modules and materials for conducting training through various and multi-based channels. Only appropriately qualified HR professionals and career counselors can provide professional career counseling for women in leadership positions in the area of digital competencies.
