SUMMARY;CHARSET=UTF-8:Research Conversation: Getting ahead in the knowledge society: The role of digital competencies in advancing employability outcomes for immigrant women in the European Union
DESCRIPTION;CHARSET=UTF-8:Maria Garrido is a Research Associate with the Technology & Social Change group. \n\nThis study looks at how digital competencies advance the employability of immigrant women in five European Union countries: Spain\, Italy\, The Netherlands\, Hungary\, and Romania (as a source country). Emergent findings suggest that promoting digital competencies not only helps to advance human capital\, but also leads to improved employability through three interrelated paths: 1) Social inclusion; 2) Training and Lifelong Learning; and 3) Cultural inclusion. In addition\, the research highlights the role of social organizations in promoting social\, economic\, and cultural integration of immigrant women and in advancing many of the ‘key competencies’ identified by the European Union as critical to succeed in today’s labor market.\n\nFor more information on this and upcoming iSchool conversations\, please visit http://conversations.ischool.washington.edu \n\nEvent Page: http://www.ischool.washington.edu/events/calendar/1727
