An extensive needs analysis is the first step to determine the status quo of digital skills in order to develop effective training materials and online consulting tools for career counsellors. OCCAY is building up on existing self-assessment grids according to DigComp 2.0, which have been designed to assess digital competences (e.g. digital skills accelerator, digital competence wheel, soft skill self-assessment tool or dig comp test).
The OCCAY self-assessment grid includes playful elements, interactive quizzes and integrates new evaluation methods. The contents are specifically tailored to career counsellors and their educational background. It examines personal attitudes towards digitalization, the frequency and type of digital media used in daily work, the distribution of working hours, particularly with regard to gaining new digital skills, the number of training courses already attended in this field and possible obstacles of using virtual technical applications for counselling services.
You will also be able to re-test your digital skills after participating in the OCCAY Hybrid Flexi Course.
