Digital inclusion and youth unemployment solution
Solution details
To solve the problem, we are there to do this both in their home, when people have concerns with their own devices, and we also offer practical lectures to groups at various day centres, where we cover a range of digital topics like photography, internet safety etc. We have been working in this area for over a year, which gives a big boost to our success in tackling this problem.
Working together with the municipal governments and also private companies we wish to offer these lectures and also the home service free to the elderly. We would like to offer those teaching jobs to young people who are just out of school and are struggling to find a job. Working together with Töötukassa it would be easier to find these individuals who are having trouble finding the first job experience
