The Includ-EU pilot program on enhancing migrants’ digital skills and social inclusion implemented by the Adult Education Center Jesenice (Slovenia) successfully concluded in June 2022. Two groups of migrants underwent a 60-hour capacity-building program which blended digital skills and Slovene language workshops, while focusing on facilitating practical orientation of newcomers in the local community. 

Participants underwent an initial assessment of their digital and Slovene language skills prior to joining the program and their skills were re-assessed upon concluding the program. Coupled with the career guidance provided to the participants, the assessment of their Slovene language and digital skills could serve as a useful tool in the job-seeking process. 

The concluding ceremony took place on 2 June 2022 in Jesenice. The participants who successfully concluded the 60-hour program were awarded a certificate. The teaser video about the pilot project was screened at the event.

The pilot program was implemented in the framework of the Includ-EU project, implemented by IOM and funded by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund of the European Union (DG HOME).
