DiMi Care
Digital Mindset for Carers
The Erasmus+ project DiMiCare – Digital Mindset for Carers aims to enhance professional digital competences of care assistants and home helpers by developing a comprehensive and flexible training package consisting of a modular training course and multimedia micro-learning units. The face-to-face and online training offer will help the target group to improve their digital competences relevant for their daily work processes and to learn about the potential and efficient use of care-related technologies.
By adressing the digital training needs of care professionals the project wants to raise awareness of stakeholders in the care and VET sector about the potential of technology in care and the necessity to reflect this role in IVET and CVET offers.
