About

Digital entrepreneurship is seen as a crucial driver of economic growth and job creation, and the European Commission has placed a strong emphasis on promoting digital entrepreneurship through various initiatives and policies. However, there is still a significant gap in such skills across the European Union. SMEs represent an important source of employment and are economic motors for the EU, yet they are often at a disadvantage to upskilling their employees and/or recruiting the skills most in demand today. Furthermore, in the working career, a drop out from the labour force during the mature stage of life can cause a lot of risk to the re-employment possibilities. It is in this context that the project aims to upskill unemployed and in transition adults. DIGITMI will develop a training package for these target groups covering (1) digital entrepreneurial competences and (2) e-commerce. The importance of e- commerce is significant as the market is expected to continue to grow, and traditional shopping habits are changing, especially due to the current external effects. E-commerce has reduced costs of launch than traditional shops, so it can be a good choice for those, who have a good idea but not enough financial capacity to start.
