As the digital transformation is proceeding at full speed all round the globe, we believe that digital education is increasingly becoming a prerequisite for a successful working life and is also a requirement for our self-determination and general evaluation capabilities. According to the German Digital Strategy 2025, in the ICT sector alone, there are currently 40,000 open positions. The White Paper on Digital Platforms of the Economic Affairs Ministry of Germany claims, that digitalisation will open up potential additional cumulative added value of 425 billion euros in Germany. In response to these upcoming realities new qualifications and combinations of qualifications and, correspondingly, new training content are necessary for successful transition. Therefore, CGE Erfurt e.V. believes that it is crucial to train not only our staff, but also educators, trainers and facilitators closely working with us, offering possibility to gain profound ICT competences and knowledge in basic robotics, so that they can work, likewise, about these issues with adults.
To reach the aims of the project, we created four activities:

[ap_tab title=”Job Shadowing #1″]Job Shadowing is going to take place from the 26th of August till the 9th of September, in Cyprus.
This activity is aimed at bringing team members of CGE Erfurt to visit Emphasys Center for two weeks and learn from their experiences. They have at least 5 to 7 years of management experience, with skills and competences to manage and lead projects and teams. Participants will learn the best practices of developing, establishing and managing Teaching Courses on Administrative level.

[ap_tab title=”Job Shadowing #2″]Job Shadowing is going to take place in April 2019, in Cyprus.
This activity is aimed at bringing team members of CGE Erfurt to visit Emphasys Center for two weeks and learn from their experiences. They have at least 5 to 7 years of management experience, with skills and competences to manage and lead projects and teams. Participants will learn how they develop new courses, develop curricula for trainings and how to evaluate quality of teaching. They will practice teaching methods and help CGE build high quality ICT teaching Center in Thuringia.
