Case Study Details - The EDISON Alliance

This document represents the Final Evaluation Report for the Digital SkillShift learning programme led by ALL DIGITAL, with the support of J.P. Morgan. The purpose of the project designed and implemented between 2019 and 2021 was to reskill and upskill individuals who are ‘far’ from the labour market and facing the challenges of the digital transformation in their career. The aim was to enable new work-related opportunities for the beneficiaries of the training, by developing new skills and attitudes required in today’s labour market. This report documents the progress made through the development of the training programme and piloting. It will provide an overview of the initial project implementation strategy, the way in which partners adapted the implementation methodology to adapt to local contexts, challenges faced during implementation, outcomes, case studies and project cost analysis. All data included in this report is available upon request to ALL DIGITAL and project evaluators.

Impact / Outcome

Course completion rates were highest for the French implementing partner, with a near perfect completion score. This is likely because the French program was organized in cooperation with a national employment agency that provided addition funding to the training and participants. The German and Italian partners had 60-70% course completion rates, however participants from these groups also reported having to discontinue the course due to work pressure or changes in their personal circumstance, such as illness. Overall course feedback was broadly positive as participants reported feeling the training helped them to develop more confidence and competence with digital skills and modern work modalities.
