On September 28, Porta Futuro Bari, the Bari job centre, inaugurated the new courses organised by Ambizione Italia for Youth, the educational programme promoted by Microsoft Italia in collaboration with the Fondazione Mondo Digitale to help young men and women looking for employment, NEETs, women and other fragile workers to develop the digital skills necessary (skilling, reskilling, upskilling) to access the working world.
The programme is organised into specific modules that address the specific needs of those seeking training, professional qualification or who simply wish to improve themselves. The project provides ongoing and custom-tailored education to face the challenges created by rapid changes on the labour market, which especially addresses youth and the most fragile categories of workers.
Moreover, this year, twenty participants will receive a tablet thanks to the special award provided by Almaviva. All participants who participate in at least one of the three courses with an 85% attendance rate and who score no less than 80% on the final test are eligible for the award.
Porta Futuro users and citizens of Bari can access the following on-line courses for free:
Intermediate Digital Marketing Course
The objective of the course is to allow participants to understand and manage digital technology based on the Internet, like computers, tablets, smartphones and digital platforms, to promote web services and products.
Basic Digital Literacy Course
The course, which is organised into nine two-hour (maximum) meetings, addresses individuals with little schooling. It aims to provide them with the tools necessary to acquire the minimal skills required to understand the potential of the Internet.
