Silver talents increasing their competitiveness by enhancing digital and entrepreneurial skills.

SILVERSKILL

The main goal of the SILVERSKILL project is to increase the competitiveness of older people on the labor market and in business, focusing on digital and entrepreneurial skills.

Specifically, the aim is to train at least 100 older people (50 in each country) with the essential skills and knowledge needed to start their own business or significantly improve their employability in the digital economy. This is achieved by developing and delivering a comprehensive training program of eight carefully designed modules covering a wide range of topics related to modern business and digital skills.

Upon successful completion of the training program, participants demonstrate measurable growth in their entrepreneurial knowledge and skills as evidenced by their ability to develop viable business ideas, effectively use digital tools for business growth, and implement green and sustainable practices in their business.

Expected results

The SILVERSKILL project not only meets the need to strengthen the position of the elderly on the labor market, but also creates a strong foundation for long-term cooperation and resource sharing between Estonia and Finland. This cooperation promotes intercultural understanding and contributes to economic and social integration at the regional level. The key to the success of the project lies in effective cooperation between partners and continuous dialogue with participants to ensure that the training programs are relevant, inclusive and meet the expectations and needs of the target group.
