PROCTOGO - Procurement: digital Tools and sustainable Goals, 2021

Project focused on the area of “Procurement” – and in particular of “Sustainable Procurement” – considering developing digital courses aimed to provide future procurement professionals the new required digital skills and the digital certifications that will allow them to more effectively spend their new skills on the job market.

The project objective is twofold:

• design two short digital courses on digital sustainable procurement practices, certifying through a digital badge the acquired skills;
• develop a micro-credential framework based on which learners (including life-long learners) can build up progressively new digital skills as required by their professional career in the area of procurement.

The project will provide new digital teaching contents allowing learners to acquire the new digital skills required by the labour market. The project will also contribute to development of a different teaching approach and recognition of qualification based on digital contents and micro-credentials, supporting “traditional” universities to be more effective in the Digital Education arena.           

Impact:

The project will provide new digital teaching contents allowing learners to acquire the new digital skills required by the labour market. The project will also contribute to development of a different teaching approach and recognition of qualification based on digital contents and microcredentials, supporting “traditional” universities to be more effective in the Digital Education arena with respect to the new skills demanded by the job market, also in a life-long learning perspective. Therefore, the project aims to contribute to the up-to-date discussion on digital micro-credentials as a new mean to deliver successful skills development programmes at higher education level.
