PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation
Digitalization in Asia is changing everyday life and the world of work. India, Bangladesh and Vietnam are striving for comprehensive digital transformation and therefore need well-trained young talent with digital skills. This is the only way they can remain competitive.
However, the qualification systems are inadequately adapted to the labor market: practice-oriented teaching and the imparting of employment and ethics-oriented digital skills at universities are missing. This means that ethical judgments, data protection and responsible design of digital systems are neglected. The potential that compact, short-term learning units – so-called microcredentials – have as a flexible learning format also remains unused at universities.
Goal
Course offerings that support young people's employment and ethics-oriented digital skills have improved in quality and quantity in selected regions of Asia.
Approach
The project expands the performance of universities in order to implement better study offerings in the long term. The core strategy is to establish a network consisting of universities and research institutions in Bangladesh, Vietnam and India as well as other international partner universities.
The network strengthens the study offerings qualitatively and quantitatively by developing microcredentials. To do this, the project trains lecturers and university managers so that the universities can develop and offer the courses independently. In addition, qualifications in line with the labor market are supported through cooperation with industry. The microcredentials promote future-proof digital skills, tailored to the needs of the regional labor market and national strategies.
