The Rome Centro Enea holds a series of ICT training courses and services organised by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale. These include:
- Management of the e-Cafè(sala Internet 1) that allows guests to freely use PCs, the Internet connection and pursue informal learning activities;
- Organisation of Computer Courses (sala Internet 2) that present participants with a Microsoft Digital Literacy Curriculum certification, as well as providing the guests with solutions to their practical and cultural needs;
- Activation of practical courses and labs (Civic Education, Driving License, PC reparation, etc. to provide guests with useful skills that will accelerate their insertion on the job market;
- Organisation of training activities with local schools.
The value of these activities can be summed up as follows:
- The e-Cafè allows guests to improve their training, socialise with other guests and work on their future autonomy.
- The PC Courses have two fundamental objectives: preparing for the Microsoft Digital Literacy Curriculum certification examination and providing guests with solutions to their practical work and life needs through ICT.
- FMD provides students with ad hoc manuals: linguistically simplified Microsoft material, materials on Italian culture, practical advice for daily use, integration exercises and a glossary. FMD didactic activities are based on the certification that makes the guests more competitive on the job market.
- All FMD activities are integrated in research and continuous improvement via field observation, questionnaires and interviews to obtain optimal solutions to critical issues.
- Research and Monitoring activities are encoded in a Good Practice Manual.
- FMD works with highly skilled collaborators who speak many of the languages used at the Centro Enea.
- FMD also relies on the informal collaboration with Cntro Enea guests to support social learning. Indeed, some of these informal collaborations have developed into formal work roles.
